pricing goes up
...what i am trying to say is that over the years i have noticed the steady climb at the top end of these books.
a few years ago i never saw this type of book/subject matter so expensive at the top end...
Lone Wolf: Life and Death of U-boat Ace Werner Henke

Steel Boat, Iron Hearts: A U-Boat Crewman's Life Aboard U-505: £9.44 0r £50 hardcover.
im sure someone could explain all this.
these books are not in bad condititon - i guess, because i have ordered them in different conditions over the years and never thought oh christ, im sending that back. they have all been in better condititon than advertised.
maybe the market has been affected by the economy - or people will buy at these prices, i have no idea. i just know that books related to this subject have gone
up, but VERY up at the top end.
i guess its the discrepency between high and low that opens my eyes. its not the like with all, but certain titles have an odd price
maybe more people have become interested - hence the hike.
we should hold on to them once read. they will be worth a small fortune one day.
now i will go back top making an inexpensive broccolli soup with blue cheese.
