I have a copy and it is beautiful in every way. I'm sure Billy doesn't set the pricing on it, but it's not a paperback copy of Nine Horses or The Trouble With Poetry, it's a collector's book. It won't be reprinted. I'm glad I have my copy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17676950.post-1162670574269721802006-11-04T15:02:00.000-05:002006-11-04T15:02:00.000-05:00whoa - I'd like to go to that reading just to ask ...whoa - I'd like to go to that reading just to ask him where they get off charging that kind of money for a little chapbook. <BR/><BR/>I clicked on the Amazon link you have here and they want $45 for the book!<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Billy doesn't set the price but he must have some say in what it sells for - and I'm sure he gets a bigger cut from a sale.<BR/><BR/>What - is it a collectible already?
