Why ?

Why ?

Scarcity and memes.

Because people will actually pay that much. I found a copy at a library booksale in meh condition and sold it for $75

But what if I actually want to read it ?

Look for it at your library.

But I live in the middle of nowhere.

Y? Because it's the 23rd letter of the alphabet! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHABAHAHAHAHAHA

Just check your library or interlibrary loan if you have the option.

Then use the money you save by living in the middle of nowhere where housing and food is cheap to buy a copy and have it shipped to you.

But I'm unemployed.

I already checked the library for my whole region and it isn't there.
