They are becomeing a collector's item, after all. Reminds me of a microphone company who made a limited run of an ald 1930's microphone affectionaely known as the "green hornet". It was particularly prized by harmonica players. I knew a guy who bought up a whole bunch of them. He was active in the music industry. He didn't sell them. He used them as door openers and to get into to see certain folks. People know these were a rare collectors item. He got favors worth many thousands of dollars for these microphones. He bought them for less than $100 each, He fugured he got about a 20 to 50 times his original investment in them. All kinds of deals with big name, touring bands. I can see it now. Somebody could buy a bunch of these books. And he could foster a thousand, shady backroom deals with these rare, prized collectors item. I can see it now. A shady looking character with a long trench coat sliding up to an unsuspecting Freides. "Hey mister, wanna buy an original copy of 7 Minute Rotator Cuff? It is still a virgin." And Steve with his ethics still intact, slinks away while muttering something about morality.
