Though I was initially stunned, after thinking it over, I've concluded
that this is actually quite a reasonable price. After all, over twenty
years ago, I got up off of $300 for the
then-already-somewhat-superannuated-but-still-standard, three-volume
historical dictionary of Sard[inian]. I hate to think of what that
would be in today's dollars!

And Jonathon's work will be hot off the presses, besides!
