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
They might be listed at silly prices, but do any actually sell? Everything is
only worth as much as someone is prepared to pay, no matter what value someone
else (expert or not) puts on it.

I love these
Reading Witchy Woman's post I am so glad I bought two of the Read/ Kinkaid and
one Read Milanese books at the time when they were a sensible price, I love
these books but no way are they worth $200 each and I wonder what it is that
actually warrants them fetching that sort of price?

Just a couple more - Mrs Read's introductory lessons from Lace were
republished by the Lace Guild, and have now been joined by her Alphabet, good
value at GBP5 and 6 respectively; I assume plus P+P.
