I won't pay TWO Nickels for a book from a man who calls himself
"Vagina"

So Bush's autobiography will be out as well, eh?

Couldn't you find a longer post against which to make a stupid one-line
reply with no trimming. This is the pot calling the kettle black.

I hope you paid him to use that quotation, cuz he wants over $400 for
his book. You just used about twenty bucks worth...

Whoops, sorry -- I'm behind the curve in this thread, as I see this
has already been discussed.

I met Schul at the Reno Air Races in '04. He was selling his book
whilst sitting at a card table, and Mary and I briefly considered
adding his book to our library.

It was rude of me, I know, but when he told me the price I burst out
laughing. I seriously thought he was joking. It was immediately
obvious that he *wasn't* joking. Needless to say, we didn't hit it
off after that.

Personally, I think anyone trying to sell a book for $400 is bonkers
-- but if ya can get it, it's not a bad gig.

Jay, have you seen some of the textbook prices at colleges lately?
Well over 100 is common. Why, you can almost buy a wingful of fuel for
the price of a book (I offer that as a way for you to think about
costs when son goes off to school).

Since your Inn has been overbooked the last bunch of weekends, you can
start saving for the books by increasing the rack rate a little!

Today a copy will cost as much as $887.66:

Anyone who is paying $887.66 is living proof that P. T. Barnum was
right! I just did a Google search on "Sled Driver" and the first hit took
me to Brian's web page where the book is going for $427 + shipping. Add $25
if you want it autographed.

I mostly publish in the professional literature, but choose to not
offer a CV here. There's ample evidence you have difficulty
understanding even fairly simple writings based on opinions you've
expressed here, so the bet to make is you'd really misrepresent what
you might read in peer reviewed journals.

The U.S. Code isn't a peer-reviewed journal.
