Why This Is Hell

I'm writing a blurb for the second edition of the Pocket Essential Philip K Dick and eventually remembered I could paste it in from Amazon. Whilst there I notice the book is finally out of print, but is available from dealers from £9.20. This is from Cold Tonnage, a dealer I trust, but bear in mind a) this is new and b) it retailed for £3.99. You could pay £18.84. Also new. No, that's silly money.


Try second hand then. Used, very good. £42.24. Would have to be Fucking Very good. But it doesn't stop there.


£68.23 Used - Good. Not Very Good or As New. This is a paperback. 96 pages. No colour pictures. First six pages are apparatus - title, contents, copyright. Three pages at the end blank or adverts for other books. 87 pages. That's nearly 80p a page. But that's cheap.

Very cheap.

Imagine paying ( How much???? )
