I wonder how long before the re-sellers start hawking his Easton Press signed book for $12,000 a pop.

Yes, the vultures are already moved in.. If you take a look at the current Ebay listings, you can pick up a "reasonably priced" copy for only 8-9K :-)

And this time it is not only the vultures on eBay. Within 24 hours I had an email from EP about some special commemorative Time-Life leatherbound edition that they are shucking for some ridiculous price.

Oh but Wail, the Queen mother already passed in 2002, and I don't recall seeing that title. I must blush while admitting that I succumbed to the coffee table book A Year With The Queen but at least it was bound in a nice, unusual regal purple leather! Plus it was a Christmas gift that I specifically requested so I can honestly say I didn't spend any money on it.

LOL, I probably couldn't buy something with that title. Too much irreverence to Her Majesty. But I do appreciate your humor and no offense taken.
