That's what makes this item's price even more unforgettably stupid...but they found the fool willing to pay the price, anyway.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-39192591863892170432007-12-24T13:51:00.000-06:002007-12-24T13:51:00.000-06:00That does sound like quite a book, Nick.

Admittedly, I'm no rare book dealer, but doesn't 1,700 seem like a rather large number to have floating around and still be able to fetch this price?
