   Hello John!   
      
    JD>>> That's a crazy price for a novel. How the hell do they   
    JD>>> justify that? JD   
      
    AA>> I could ask them!  I'm curious to know just how many   
    AA>> numbered copies they usuasly produce.  They come in a   
    AA>> carton of 12, so..  there's at least 12. :D   ..but they   
    AA>> are NOT returnable.   
      
    JD>  You know, with all the "extras"[1] $50 would be   
    JD>  approaching a ripoff. $250 is just blatant robbery. [1]   
    JD>  Most of the so called extras are often included at no   
    JD>  extra charge when you print in bulk.

   The Boys from Biloxi - Limited Edition

   [2] In these days of people looking for lower prices of books, and ebooks, HOW   
   does RH justify printing these editions and at that the $324 price?

   Oh! The special signed edition! Very few of these are being printed, I'd say   
   under 200 copies. These are mostly for special orders. We've had asks in the   
   past for special editions, so this is in part an answer to that.
