Academic book on RAH
I'm only just now hearing of .
At $105, I most likely won't be getting a copy.

Re: Academic book on RAH
$105! Is it printed on gold leaf or something?

Re: Academic book on RAH
Has anyone heard of any of the authors of the essays therein? Is this one of those vanity press deals?

Re: Academic book on RAH
I've heard of Rafeeq McGiveron (the name is somewhat memorable . . . ).
And $105 isn't way out of line for an academic book.

Re: Academic book on RAH
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.

Re: Academic book on RAH
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.

Re: Academic book on RAH
I find it interesting that the eBook is the same price. Even tech manuals are less in e-format

Re: Academic book on RAH
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.
