No, it doesn't. There appear to be quite a few book dealers who advertise completely absurd prices for certain books. Somebody once told me that this is because there is a market among Hollywood producers for some types of book, and since their budgets are so enormous the prices are largely irrelevant. I've no idea how much truth there is in this, or why Hurn & Jay's books would be included in this sort of madness. You can get any electronic copy if you search the www enough I was lucky enough to get my copies of both books at list price, before they really attracted attention from people on the internet. They sold out very quickly and seem to have attained cult status.
