The following is Edward Haile's comments on the availability of his book. I
snatched this off of the amazon page that lists his book for up to $500.00:

Dear Reader, This is an excellent book whose virtues I cannot begin to cite
except to say that it is good and cheap. Namely, it is here terribly
misrepresented in price and availability. It is in print, has never been out
of print, and the list price new is thirty-four fifty. If the dear chaps at
Amazon have not got the point after seven or eight years of listing it,
despite years of advisories, be advised for your part that it can be ordered
at the correct price through various Jamestown related websites of the
Jamestown APVA or Jamestown Settlement or Colonial Williamsburg, or the
Library of Virginia gift shop, and so on, or even through the publisher
itself. Why then is it listed here? My friend, a book not listed here does
not exist in the lexicon of literature. And who knows. There may be a
turnaround. The information did correct itself for a whole week I believe
back in 2002. Yours, Th' Pres't of the Co'cil of Virg.
