Posted by Eugene Volokh: Bargain on <i>Academic Legal Writing</i> -- http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2005_05_01-2005_05_07.shtml#1115161637
Or Not. David's post below reminds me that while the second edition of my Academic Legal Writing is available from amazon for $19.95 (the list price), the first edition is being sold by independent sellers at bargain-basement prices of $25 (new), $28.99 (like new, "In perfect physical condition...Used for one semester...Some Highlighting"), $30 (very good), and $37.76 (very good). Now maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the second edition is actually better than the first, and that much as the first edition ought to be seen as a prized, cherished collector's item, few people have such an enlightened view of the subject. So who's the rocket scientist who's decided to sell used copies of the first edition for more than new copies of the second? (I hope there aren't any rocket scientists who are actually buying them.) _______________________________________________ Volokh mailing list [email protected] http://highsorcery.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volokh
