A bookseller on ABE books is asking $250,000.00 for a copy of Barack Obama’s The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream and Dreams From My Father: A Story Of Race and Inheritance . A clamshell box is included free of charge, as well as free delivery.
I wonder if the books are worth this much, but they do demonstrate the cultural value that this bookseller feels they embody. And if you purchase these, I would be more than happy to deacidify them for only another $35,000.00.
