$25 according to http://users.foxvalley.net/~joko/gocd.html.

Joe's version is bootable due to the fact that the first partition is
formatted as ProDOS.  This makes this CD one of the few that can be
used on an 8-bit Apple II with a CD-ROM drive.  The downside is that
pretty much only an Apple IIgs can access all of the partitions.  A
Macintosh can only access one partition unless you install a 3rd party
driver.

I have Joe's version of G.O. but that was the only one available at
the time I purchased it.  If buying it today I'd go with Call
A.P.P.L.E.'s version.  A single partition I find more convenient and
the $19.95 price tag beats Joe's price.
