Rare not scarce as is this entire issue. You are being too modest. So I have a question that CT may be able to help me on another coin from this...
Ah I stand totally corrected and apologise for assuming these were bootlegs. $45 for an approved pdf and/or permission to copy sounds reasonable...
I really disapprove of those who buy or share or download bootleg PDF copies of currently sold books under copyright that provide nothing to the...
