Even if it was in stock, it’s the same price as the hardcover? For an ebook? Madness.
Madness? THIS. IS. SPARTA!
In retrospect, Sparta very much sucked as a society.
Prolly kick your ass
Lots of people who suck would probably like to do that, yes.
You’re a bit more hippie, than vikingr, aintcha?
Yeah, Viking is my ancestry and nationality, but my personality is much more modern geek hippie with a bit of punk attitude and joke Tourette’s lol
Contact the author and ask them if you can pay them directly for a copy of it in PDF or something.
The only reasonable way I could see this happening is if the publisher had a limited time license to sell the ebook, and the contract has expired, but they still have some unsold print copies in a warehouse.
No, I don’t know why I’m trying to justify this.
That’s still a very good example of artificial scarcity.
I don’t think you’re trying to justify it, I think there’s a reasonable explanation because any sane human being knows that no publisher, or anybody really, wants to deal with paper copies. And I think we’re just searching for that reasonable explanation.
The bit-copying machine’s cartridge is out of bits. Sorry.
Can’t we just, you know, commandeer someone else’s bits?
You might get away with some 0’s but don’t even think about kidnapping anyone.
Huh, I was going to try to be funny by screenshotting the myanonamouse.net page but it’s not even on there. Maybe they just don’t sell it as an ebook.
What do you mean it’s not on myanonamouse? First and only search result for me:
The search results are artificially scarce.
You got lucky.
uh… weird.
edit: oh, my torrent client is unreachable by their trackers. Maybe I’m limited until I fix it.

Anna’s Archive has a copy of the ebook for a very reasonable price
