That certainly is impressive. Gotta admire the balls-out spirit of presentation!
You can get the numbered version for slightly less

I saw that - a bargain at a measly $6k.Quote:

A future Suntup publication. :evil:

What makes a $525 book worth $4,000? I guess the same thing that makes this $30,000 book desirable to a Ferrari owner.
I think that's exactly it. You have the money and it fits in your collection... I agree with ValHallAwaits, this is not made for us book collectors. This is made for Ferrari owners, and crazy rich people who like a show piece.Quote:
