Virgil61 Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I went to possibly purchase this much quoted book by Brunt. At over 700 pages, it's only available in hardcover which is fine, but then I saw the price: Italian Manpower 225 B.C.-A.D. 14 $325.00, Oxford University Press!!! Are they insane? Think I'll pass on this one. I hope it's got solid gold lining on the book cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furius Venator Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I think its price is designed to deter the riff raff... Though actually it probably just reflects the tiny demand for such a work. It's probably expected that only libraries (and damn few of them) will actually buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Well, while i cant guarantee you anything, i will speak with PP if we maybe can come up with some sort of help for you. I do happen to know a place were you can get it for under 200 bucks, + shipping, although still, this book better be good lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the money but could never justify in my mind spending this much on a book. I can always walk over to the Georgetown University library across the river (my move to Seattle was postponed until next month) and browse for free. Heck, for $300 I could build up a fine library of Penguin classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 If you are still interested i found an online bookstore that "only" charges 200 dollar for a new copy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
