altivoJust looking at the sky, if the leaves weren't obvious on the trees and I didn't know that the outdoor temperature is 80+F, I'd say it was about to snow. Long parallel folds of overcast gray gloom...
Something even stranger, though. I was doing some checking for items that are scarce in libraries on Worldcat and found several Sofawolf and Bad Dog Books titles were listed by Alibris (a used booksellers' clearinghouse.) Out of curiousity, I went to see the prices and number of copies.
Gah! Copies of Kyell Gold's Volle and Tim Susman's Common and Precious being offered at prices as high as $99 each. Do these booksellers not realize that these books are still in print and can be purchased from the publisher or even Amazon for about $20? So I went to look at my preferred used book clearinghouse, ABEBooks where I found Kyell Gold's books at $53.50 each. What on earth is going on here? Are people really being ripped off like that because they aren't smart enough to order from Amazon or Sofawolf or Bad Dog?
