About a dozen of you have written me to say you scored a copy of the Al Jaffee book when it was $14.24. When I bought mine, they said they only had 15 copies in stock with "more on the way." So I'm guessing readers of this site quickly grabbed up the 13 copies that were left after I ordered my two…then selling-out (for now) somehow triggered the Amazon computers to reprice and the cost shot up to $78.75. I cannot begin to theorize why the price has since come down a big seven cents to $78.68, which is what it is at this moment.
The Barnes & Noble website currently has it at $91.91 on their main page there but they also have a "marketplace" area that sells what are apparently new copies for $62.50. Powell's City of Books, which is a pretty large operation in Portland, Oregon is offering it for the full retail price of $125.00 and I am always curious about this. Are there people who actually buy it for that? And if so, is it because they don't want to take the twenty seconds required to search Amazon?
