I was given the book as a Christmas gift. It's still sealed at the moment - not because I didn't want it or aren't interested, I just haven't had time to look at it yet. This edition is a bit much, but, in my opinion, if people have the money and want to blow it on stuff like this, then you can't blame them for tapping into the market. What worries me slightly is that some people who haven't really got the money may feel compelled to buy it. |

That's not the only version though, is it? Nobody is being forced to pay that, and you can be 100% certain that anyone buying that edition can afford it.
Let capitalism be... nobody's come up with a viable alternative

Having clicked the link, I wonder how many people are going to be that excited about a picture of some Argentinian policemen standing on a football pitch.
I'm not sure art paper and Mr Prestons autograph are sufficient inducement...

Museums actually don't use white cotton handling gloves because they actually get more dirty than bare hands. Fact of the day.
