I wouldn't pay more than $1,300. They should definitely do a reprint. That’s crazy. $1,424.99?! I wouldn’t pay more than $1,300. They should definitely do a reprint.

Japan auctions. Also, unlike eBay, Yahoo is clunky and requires more communication. I'd say it would be pretty difficult for a non-Japanese speaker to deal with it, and most sellers won't ship abroad anyway. Hence, more bargains for me :) Ah, but you need a Japanese credit card to bid in Yahoo! Japan auctions. Also, unlike eBay, Yahoo is clunky and requires more communication.

I'm guessing that as someone who's just reached his majority, you haven't had to think of money much. As you grow up, you should (hopefully) learn that it's not a thing to be scoffed at, feared or venerated. At its sanest, it's just labor, converted into less sweaty, red-eyed form. I have no problem with keeping an item relevant by putting it in the hands of someone who loves it, so much that they're willing to trade many hours of work for it. That kind of love ends up enriching everyone—how do you think these scans ended up on your screen? It’s not “priceless”, Patrick, if it’s not precious to me.

Instead, it should be looked at as a work of art and a photographic memoir. I've just turned eighteen, and it already seems that money poisons people and is taking the value of priceless items away.

Do you think the 1973 reprint will fetch as decent a price? I have access to one, and for that kind of money, maybe he'll let me put it on eBay. Wow.

Perhaps I should embark on a journey to update this book. After all, 40 years have gone by now. My boyfriend went to the University of Pennsylvania and we still live in Philadelphia now.
