And what if I need more books? edit These prices for used books are calculated by bots, as soon as one is sold the other ones will rise. There is the famous story of a scientific book which was offered for 2 million dollars. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]

Maybe just buy all books below EUR 100 to see whether there pops up a new offer once the "only one" book has been sold.	[reply]

There is the famous story of a scientific book which was offered for 2 million dollars. That's hilarious. If you read to the end of the article, the price eventually went up to 23 million before someone intervened. If you think about it, this is a bit similar to the count-to-infinity problem encountered in network routing.	[reply]
