I suggest you search other sources for the book.  A book I reprinted,
written by a Civil War soldier, was listed on Amazon for over $800.00 with a
statement it is a rare and scarce book.  I have 200 of them in my garage and
they sell for $16.00.  Some people really are opportunist.  It makes me
angry as we give all our proceeds to preserve historical legacies...it
doesn't go in our pockets.

Keep looking.
