My point about the old edition is that $25 is a lot to pay for what is basically a novella. I predict those who pay $25 and finish the novella two hours later will be saying "I paid $25 for _this_?"
I don't know - 25 bucks doesn't get you much anymore. I spent $40 tonight in a mediocre resturant for some walleye and a couple glasses of Merlot. About 2 hours and they didn't even have a cute waitress. I'm sure the book will be much more filling.
To each their own. Spending $40 for one for dinner is a lot of money, esp. if you claim the wine was mediocre and the waitress wasn't cute. I don't spend this kind of money. Could be why I retired when I was 34. Think about it. Front-load your savings. Skip the $40 dinners and the $25 paperback novels. Take the $400 or whatever per month and invest it. --Tim May -- (This .sig file has not been significantly changed since 1992. As the election debacle unfolds, it is time to prepare a new one.
