Eric and I got together for a bit on Friday. He raved about this book. I
got it out of the local library first thing Saturday morning and, after
spending a good part of the day Sunday browsing through it, I have every
expectation of buying a copy before I have to return it to the library.
Amazon has it listed at $24.47 and $34.95 (the list price). Powells
doesn't have any used copies listed. It lists two new copies, one at
$34.95 and one at $50! (I think that MUST be a mistake.) There's a new one
coming out in the next few months *but it's the "Powerboat
Edition"*. Don't get the wrong one.
