cultural cannon fodder

the is a used bookstore no more than 3 blocks from my apartment which houses rare and exotic books. contained in their selection is a copy of "coming of age in samoa" by margaret mead. what is interesting is that the book is signed by her. what is not interesting about it is that they are asking 400 bucks for it. so i did what any middle class american would do...i purchased a used copy of the book "html 4 bible" for 10 dollars.
