I just recieved my $295 copy of "When the Five Moons Rise" from amazon. Ok ok I just wanted to LOOK at it. I was, uh, am going to send it back. Yes! It's a swindle, a fraud, a peculation, a larceny! Bibliofind lists the book for the paltry sum of $250. Why pay more! Why pay at all, you say? Not for the measly leather quarter binding, not even for the inimitable signature, surely not for the alarming legend "$29.95"! It is merely a question of the letter "y" handsomely scralled on the title page by the master himself. A "y" that means only "z" remains. 26 limited editions a-z. I propose to hunt down the owners of a-x and execute them employing unusual, imaginative and horrific techniques! Magnanimously, I shall allow "z" to live.
Well, so what is your opinion? Keep it? Treasure it? Sell it to one of you in ten years for a small consideration? Toss it contemptuously back in the peccant and buffonish faces of those purveyors of mendacity? Shall I demand the immediate return of my sequins? Please advise.
