shareI paid $50 au, which is (i think) about 22gbp. It's a very small, worn, paperback edition from 1982, but i grabbed it off ebay as it was so much more expensive everywhere else.
shareyer, why is it so expensive?
shareit has been out of print for 26 years, so i guess they're pretty rare.
shareowh thats awsome.... i have a original hard back copy of that book :D money money moneys :)
shareI'm kinda beside myself w/ joy right now. decided to avoid the gym after work and dropped into the book exchange on the way home. On a stand in the door, was 'H the autobiography' for $5!!!!!!!!! wooooooo, thats about 2 pounds! I've trawled dozens of bookstores and then there it was...randomly! must have been fate and all the proof i needed that the gym is best avoided!
shareomg i love when things like that happen lol
but then that mean mine can be sold for £2 .... darrrr :( i was looking 4ward to spending £50 quid
no way, i think this was a case of a clueless shop owner...i'd asked her if she had copies in the past and had never heard of it (how?!) I guess she saw what at first glance is a trashy little 80's paperback. more fool her mwahahaha!
shareHi, I'm posting for the first time. I can't believe this! I saw in Thailand this paperback, only 140baht, that's like 30 pence I think and I didn't get it. I already had the same copy. Aiyeeyah, as they say in China
shareHow my God.... What a loser I am!! I bought that book in 1981, and so did my husband.. But we moved so much since, we left our books behind and my mother-in-law threw them away!! Didn't know it was out of print though...
shareI just grabbed a copy from an Alibris (alibris.com) reseller for $4.99 USD. I have acquired several rare, out of print books through Alibris for under $5.00 USD. There seems to be only two other copies of this book listed right now; one for $51.50 and the other for $93.15. Seems I got there at the right time. :)
For those who are looking to buy a copy, keep checking the Alibris listings and other reasonably priced copies will turn up.
Good luck and best wishes!
Why do you guys buy books? I always go to library...
if you buy books they are just in a way (they take too much space)after you read them. i read 1 book on week so i woud bankrupt if i buy all of them. in my country peope rarely bought a books (other then dictionarys or similar books)

Ewww so expensive :( In Germany you get the book(new) for like 10 Euro which is around 12$ or something. They should make a reprint in English.
