Default Funny old book

so I did a search at alibris.com and the result is below:


Table Traits With Something on Them.
by Doran, Dr.

price: $19.95
Ships within 2 to 3 days
Binding: hardbound Publisher: Redfield, New York Date Published: 1855

Description: Very Good cond (light stain to top of first 5 or 6 pages)
size: demy octavo (hinges cracked; extremities & joints rubbed or
shelf
wear or fraying)


I've edited a bit of the return from Alibris.com just for easy
readibility. So, Andy, $5- a good deal at any price.

I saw some used cookbooks at Brand Books in Glendale, California
today. They were asking $8- for books that are only $14- new at
Amazon.com.

I wanted to say that these bookdealers asking exorbitant amounts are
trying to deal them as antiques, but I guess "collectible" is a better
word.
