I bought Athyra six months ago for $4 or so, and that while I live in the Netherlands where you can never ever find even moderately rare books. (The book wasn't in mint condition of course, but still more than reasonable quality for a used book.) Looking at some auction sites these $40-$75 prices do indeed appear to be common though. *shakes his head in wonder* Any other of Steve's books that go for similar prices?
