OT: Physical Book Prices

[Dave G4UGM]

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...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141508987823

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