Its OK, its a motorbike bike, well actually the first edition Motocourse. Pretty rare these days, but what would you pay to have one?
And has the latest Motocourse come out yet? With Valentino on the Yamaha on the cover? Hmmmm........

Books arn't cheap :(
I've been waiting for "Stalingrad" and "Berlin" to come down from $40 to like $30, but they havn't moved an inch :p

Just get them. Stalingrad is brilliant, also check out "The Forgotten Soldier", about a german soldier on the russian front. Berlin is good too, but I really enjoyed Stalingrad.

Won't give exact figures, but I spent in excess of 20 grand on one book last year. If it's something you love, why not...

*EDIT* Oh yeah.... it came with a free Motorbike :2thumbsup

Read "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown....... its the prequel to "The Da Vinci Code"

Awesome book, and not that expensive.

Some of text books are rediculous prices but, then again I think a lot of books are well over priced these days. A rare book may be worth purchasing though...who is selling it and how much for?
