I had never heard of any of these books until this thread. I did look them up on Amazon.com, and I cannot see how the Cherryh novel could even be for sale for $113 (by outside parties, not Amazon). The comment about the book even said that collectors had speculated the price up to $133 at one point. Does that strike anyone else as a bit strange?
