And private offerings on the Internet suggest the reader to purchase the new edition at a price in excess of $1 thousand. Why did it happen and what is the value of this book?

especially in punctuation. Rumor has it that the original author didn't plan to finish the name with a question mark, but finishing work on a book, Melanie Gerlis put it, and insisted on his decision in a conversation with the publisher. Do not think, the book does not criticize investing in art: it provides maximum information as of 2014, and the right to make conclusions leaves the reader.
