My theory is that hard economic times have led to more sellers and fewer buyers. Add search patterns and poor or unknowing descriptions and you can occasionally pick up something very cheaply. For instance, did this seller know enough to list the Willeford connection?

Was there a newly-discovered cache of mint-condition copies found, thereby driving the price down? Was the market for all extant copies so small, that everybody who wanted a copy has managed to procure one? Did the existence of the Black Mask PoD/Kindle version and Deliver Me from Dallas help satisfy the demand for this book?
