Default World's most expensive paperback book??

Can this be right? Price range = $929 to $999 for a paperback book?!

The title is: "Turret Mill Operation" by John Edwards as recommended
by Unca George.

Yeah, those are the yucking fuppies who sell pints of bottled water in
flood areas for $25 apiece. Whenever the item isn't readily
available, the price skyrockets.

Suggest you keep an eye on Amazon, AbeBooks, and eBay for that book if
you want a copy. You could do a Wanted post on Craigslist, too.

G'luck!

I remembered seeing this book recently and finally found where.
It was offered in Enco's September "Hot Deals" flyer but - sigh -
they've now run out.
