Harvey And Lee is my number 1 next book.
It is a shame that we are subject to this preposterous Amazon price-jacking bidding for unavailable books when they could just run another printing to satisfy demand. The magic invisible hand of the free market giving us another backhand slap and telling us it is good for us...
John is the "they" you refer to. He self-published the book at his
own expense. He printed only 2000 copies. IF there were the "demand"
you speak of, he would print more. Unfortunately only a few researchers
are interested. He made no money on the book, but recovered most of
his out of pocket expenditures...but not the 12-years it took him to produce
it. Fortunately he could afford to do it.
