Maybe they'll do a new version after you (finally) finish your game room? That will be a new chapter in the book.

Oh, wait a minute..... >:D

TBH I wouldn't part with my copy for 85 quid. Whenever I get stuck or need inspiration I dive in. It's place on my bookcase is well deserved.

I did the same thing yesterday without looking at the price. He responded back saying I was nuts to pay $249 for a book.

The actual book is better though, because the pages are scanned and you can notice (gray copy machine marks everywhere) and no cd =(

Post by: jtfields on February 15, 2010, 06:02:37 pm: I happened to look on Amazon the other day and notice how pricey the book is. Not sure what posessed me to look, I bought my copy a three years ago or so. I also checked eBay and they were selling for a pretty penny there too. I moved to a new house a couple of years ago and now I can't find my copy!!! I'm sure it's in a box somewhere. If I'd have known it was gonna be a collector's item I wouldn've taken better care of it. My copy is definitely "well read". Sorry, Saint, but I have to admit, unlike Silas, I'd probably let mine go for $140. It's not often that I buy anything that actually ever seems to go up in value.
