HOW MUCH!??!!?!

That's crazy!

you can buy the dvd for less than that, plus it saves time reading!

It will be Jacko's book, he will be trying to raise money for that skyline/Escort transfer.

Some people collect these things. Those who are into all that probably consider it a bargain . Personally i'd go with the later £5.99 edition from Amazon.

Mint condition first editions and especially the first impressions go for serious money to collectors.

That wouldn't seem unreasonable to a collector of his books. For true madness have a look at how much a first edition JK Rowling goes for.
(complete set of 7 commands a cool £62k)

How about £58,234.05 for an original "Great Gatsby" http://www.abebooks.co.uk/docs/Community/Featured/firstEditions.shtml

I'd take that link down if I was you. I felt a sharp pain in my chest when I followed it.
