I hesitated, and it was gone. I'm still kicking myself. ATHYRA can't be as rare as the prices make it seem. If it was, everybody and his dog wouldn't have $50 copies to sell to people who don't have copies because everyone and his dog is selling them for $50. Alright, maybe that's a wee bit of an exaggeration. It still seems too common to be so expensive. I can only assume there are people actually *paying* those prices. Rae
