This is unbelievable. I checked there two weeks ago and nothing. Thank you so much for letting me know, John. I have gone ahead and ordered a copy. I am really looking forward to reading it properly.

The more expensive copies are probably the first printing, which was a larger page size, more luxurious paper, etc.
