Apparently it is a very rare book with high demand. I would never pay that much for any book. |

Altho' there is often some serious weirdness goin' on @ Amazon - you'll see one or two books priced waaay higher, sometimes in 3 figures, than the others!! I've often though about emailing and asking the sellers what the *ell - do I get a watch with this book? There must be something to it or they wouldn't keep pricing like that. Cheers, Margaret |

Once I found a paperback book that I had heard DH talk about at a jumble sale for 50 cents. When I brought it home his jaw dropped, because apparently he had never seen it available on Amazon or the like for less than 50 dollars. Last Edited on: 7/23/07 9:01 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |

A lot of times that is because the book is no longer in print and therefore hard to find. That will drive the price up FAST. |

patricia Briggs commented on this on her website. I'd love to get hold of the books but I refuse to pay such a high price for it. |

I always check addall.com for used book prices before paying more than $2 or $3 for a used book. I've found books there for $20 that are going for $50 or more at Amazon. It's a great resource, expecially if you like out of print books. In this case, the cheapest they had that book listed for was $178 at Half.com. |

I have a book on my WL that for whatever reason sells at amazon for over $60. It's a PB, printed in 1978 I think. I would love to read it again, but no way will I pay that kind of money for a PB book that is 30 years old! LOL So I just keep hoping that someone finds it at a yard sale/book sale, goodwill or something and posts it. Course I'm not the only person wanting it but it's just a handful of wishers. |

Don't give up on it, Kathi! I picked up an F. Paul Wilson book here that's been out of print for years. The Christmas before I found my copy here, I bought a copy for my brother at Amazon - twenty five dollars and my copy from PBS was in better condition! He loved it, though, so it was all good. :) |

I didn't give up and guess what? Someone pm'd me about the book and was having problems posting it thru her bookshelf so she posted it to my WL!! I recieved it a few days ago. Amazing it is in really great condition for the age! I am kind of ambivilent about reposting it when I am done because I have looked for this book for years. LOL We'll see after I've read it. I know it's on other people's WL but I don't want to post it and then see it on Amazon or Ebay. I would be really mad about that. LOL |

Another place to look is ABE Books. They have thousands of booksellers and so far Ive found all kinds of stuff. Most of it for a dollar. Of course the shipping kills me. |
