I agree that this is a vastly inflated cost for this book, and I would be surprised if it sells for that; I am still a believer in visiting second hand book stores from time to time (yes I know they are now becoming thin on the ground - due to internet selling) -and by doing so, finding all sorts of bargains.

As an example, in October this year I went to Haslams in St. Petersburg, Fla. (as I always do; it is a large, friendly and very well stocked store) and there was a copy of DOUBLE LIFE for $10 as it often is. However, I didn't buy this, instead I found a good condition copy of BAD BOY OF MUSIC by George Antheil, another fascinating auto bio.- and for just $15. So it is perfectly possible to avoid those over expensive internet items by frequenting the stores themselves, many of which probably offer their wares also via the internet!
