Post Academic book on RAH
I'm only just now hearing of .

At $105, I most likely won't be getting a copy.

$105! Is it printed on gold leaf or something?

Has anyone heard of any of the authors of the essays therein? Is this one of those vanity press deals?

I've heard of Rafeeq McGiveron (the name is somewhat memorable . . . ).

And $105 isn't way out of line for an academic book.

I found it used for $39 and bought it still in mint/very fine shape. I'd be lying if I said anything about the contents yet, though.

One could always buy it on eBay. For $170.76:



Free shipping from the UK. ;)

amazon.com has it for $95.00.

JusTin, I'll have to watch for a used copy. Thanks for the tip.

I find it interesting that the eBook is the same price. Even tech manuals are less in e-format

That press has the e-book available when you buy the print copy, but ONLY if you are a library. I checked, because the book has a code printed in it, but they told me as an individual I couldn't redeem it. I suspect my used copy probably came from a library that discarded the print book.
