Man that is *such* a tease. I want one of these things so bad I can taste
it but could never justify paying more than $60 (american) for it.

I am coming so close to going out and getting the most recent printing
(with as many of the fixes as possible / I think it is in 6th printing?)
and seeing how much it costs to get it rebound in a black hardback. *growl*

I think I am up to $0.06,
Aristotle, The Sleeping Op.

Actually that is sorta where/when I set my $60 limit. I sent mail to him
but got no response, so I am guessing that the two he was selling got
snatched up quickly. I figgure I have time and eventually I'll find my BABY
too. *smile*

I'll be putting three up for auction on eBay sometime in the next few weeks
(#824-827). The price will depend on what I get offered, but it won't be
less than $125AU (don't ask about hte mark-up) -- not including postage and
stuff...

And postage on a hardcover book like that is going to be murder,
especially from Australia.

One of them is listed as 884, the other as 844. The only thing I'd
be careful of is the guy with zero feedback...that's a recipe for
disaster, IMO.
