Gee, maybe I should drive the 5 miles from my home to the publisher and pick up a carload for Ebay! 100% markup, even with ebay fees.

Wow.

Is it past the copywright ? We want copies.

It scares me to think that these people may also vote!

Right on, Gary! Reports like this makes me glad I don't try to buy much off of ebay.

Remarkable... I thought I would check my two favorite book sources:

and

What I found was zero copies of "Machine Tool Reconditioning", which was astonishing to me. I have NEVER looked for a book before that wasn't for sale on one or the other of those websites. (How many bookstores would one have to visit to find a copy of "Cowboys under the Mogollon Rim" ?? I bet I could hit 35 bookstores in Houston and not find a copy! I found 11 copies in Alibris)

AT any rate...I am going to lock my copy in my safety deposit box, alongside my mid 1800's copy of "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelly.
