Well I thought I had seen some silly prices, with folks wanting ?40 or ?50
for the hardback of James Small's "The Analogue Alternative" but this beats
the lot...

I wonder if some one has the point in the wrong place , ?18 perhaps...

Back in 2007 Stan Barr posted a comment about a
book that was pure
computer geek porn: "Core Memory" by Mark Richards & John Alderman. I
thought it would be a good stocking stuffer for myself from someone in
the family. I went looking on Amazon for it. The price is $172 for a
new hardcover and
$78 for a used hardcover.
Charles, is it called "Core Memory Reporter Notebook"? If so, you can get
for $2.21 here:

That website is my go-to place when I'm looking for books that are WAY
over
priced on Amazon. I recently bought a copy of the 6th
edition of Charles
Petzold's Programming Windows from there for $17. :)
