maybe if you buy it new. It can usually be had for under $10
used from Amazon or elsewhere.
Really?
Seriously, What am I doing wrong?
Amazon has one copy of the 1982 edition for $176
and no copies right now of the 1998 or 2011 editions.
If I send you $20 each, could you get some of those "under $10" copies?
Well, I suppose it varies by availability. I got both my recent copies
(as recently as 5 years ago) through Powell's and a used bookstore in
Mountain View when I was visiting there. Both were under $20, to be
sure, but there was a time it was pretty easy to find them cheaply.
Perhaps my info is out of date. The cheapest I can find right now is
$22.55 with $4.40 shipping:
