Blimey, $100? I have that sitting on my shelf. Huh. D you reckon it's the color artwork on the front and back? I can't imagine anyone paying that price for that. It would only appeal to fans--and fans would know better. I wouldn't pay $100 for an original edition of Harlequin Airs--and that's a piece of fannish history, gorgeous art work throughout, and a good story all rolled into one. That kind of price of ItPI III is...insane.
It reminds me of the talk I went to by that faculty member on the slash community. Just as you don't go to YouTube to find the real fannish vid community; you don't go to ebay to find the fannish zine community. That's not our world.
