Speaking of 姜峯楠 . . .

Haven't finished reading "Story of Your Life" (the short story the movie Arrival is based on), but I looked for the book Stories of Your Life on Amazon and had quite a surprise:


$249.99 + $3.99 shipping + $0.00 estimated tax

Used - Good
Good to fair condition. EX-LIBRARY copy. Has standard library stickers, markings and moderate wear from library circulation. Binding still holding all together well. Cover has shelfwear. We ship daily. *Contact us for International Shipping Quote*



So I'm reading a $250 library book. And there were copies going for more, too. (And, admittedly, a few for less . . . but (1) they were still very expensive in hardback and (2) I was looking specifically for an ex-library version.


Yowza.
