Jane is absolutely right here. Someone sees that there is interest in a book and the price goes up resulting in no one buying it. The author gets nothing for a second hand book, the lace maker can't afford to own and use it and the seller ends up with an unsold book.
However hubby suggested that this is more likely to be speculation on the sellers part. Put a book up for oudles of money that you don't have and if some mark is stupid enough to ask to buy it then you can afford to go get a copy. The other thought hubby had was it creates an artificial price rose for other lace books so the seller can add a few extra pounds to less rare craft books and say that this was because lace books are going for such high prices.
