Dunno Kent, not much in Wattles like the metes and bounds you produce.

Basically the book is fine, but with word processors and all that there is so much more that can be put in a description. I don't think Wattles had a computer or smart phone.

> Consider yourself lucky. The cheapest one right now on Alibris is $165.

Yes....that was my point. Even if the mean price was $45 new, 99¢ would be an incredibly lucky deal. I don't know how they priced it. If you're pointing out the difference in "Alibris" prices, I got the impression that they are more of a "broker" or something. The actual book came from some company called "Slategray". I got a follow-up email asking me to rate and provide feedback on my purchase from Slategray. I perused Slategray's book prices and they all seemed to be in the $3.00 - $10.00 range. Maybe they're an outlet for books that didn't sell by other book dealers. (?) I sure don't understand how the book business works and how they come up with some of their outrageous prices. (Did you see the link below where some company was selling Skelton's book for over $2000?)
