Default Re: Best books for fluff

Both Amazon and ABEBooks (which Amazon now owns) use pricing algorithms which take the number of searches versus the number of available copies, and sets the prices based on that. So if there are three copies online in their system, and 1500 searches for it (never mind that no one actually bought it), then the price goes up dutifully and without regard to reality.
