Rare book.

I wanted a copy of Be Elvis. It is supposed to be very rare and hard to get so I was very excited when Amazon.co.uk had it for £36 plus p&p. I managed to get it from Abe books for £7 plus £11 p&p because it came from America. I was thrilled until it arrived. There on the front was a price sticker. One of the kind you can just peel off. For $3, or $1.50 Oh, well. At least I got it. He will love it for Christmas as the advice in it is perfect. :j

  • It may not be as rare in America. Lots of things are. In many cases, such as school shootings, this is a good thing.

    At least the price label (which could be quite old) was easily removable.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)
  • yeah - i have an 80 year old book worth £600 thats I found in Miami for $10!
