Is it true that the book "The Filipino Martial Arts" by Dan Inosanto is out of print and worth some money?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

It took me 4 years to fianlly get one, after 2 SNAFU's and one I missed a gun show in NEW condition that a friend of mine picked up for $9!! Yes, NINE dollars!!
But yes they've been out of print for about 6 years now. Even Guro Dan, himself doesn't have any extranous copies. (I know, I've tried!)
If you can find one for $50 buck or less grab it! I ended up paying a bit more for mine, in the end. Worth it tho!
Good Luck!

I´ll probably get flames for it, but there´s a scanned version of the whole book circulating on the web. If someone is comfortable with the idea of stealing Dan Inosanto´s intellectual property, it is easily possible.
And I am NOT implying this. You could maybe ask Mr Inosanto if it´s ok to use the scans, or offer some compensation, but as far as I know one of the reasons the book is out of print is that Mr Inosanto feels parts of it are outdated or not exactly how they should be.
