on amazon uk:
The Twelve Kingdoms: Sea of Shadow [Hardcover]: from £95.97
paperback: from £34.94
pretty similar on amazon US. Has this become a collector's item? Would people actually buy at this price?

It's not the first time I've seen a ridiculous price for an out of print book. I can't imagine anyone paying that.

No idea why, I know I've still seen it at bookstores recently in my area.
I guess maybe because it's the best book in the series? lol

Pehaps it's because it's the one where the editor and checker were still sober?

Really only the 4th book was messed up. The first 3 were all OK.
