We always knew your work had high value, Annie. (Pay no attention to those other numbers at the low end.)

[Janice D. Soderling]

I hope some of the profit will accrue to you! Print it out and hang it on your wall.

[Jayne Osborn]

Well, I've always thought of YOU as being priceless, dear Annie; now it appears your book is too!

But the vendor is a sportswear company in County Wicklow, so how come this latterday Book of Kells is located in Northumberland? And how can they have over fourteen thousand pages of merchandise...? There's a distinct whiff of Rattus Norvegicus in the air here.

But you bet I've printed it out, Janice, and I've added it to my "Watch List".

They have another of my books for sale at a mere three quid above the cover price, but even so, I'd be more inclined to bypass them and go for the option at 99p.

Now that you have printed it out and hopefully framed it to show your next publisher, I'll add on to say that some weirdos use people's names--lots of names--to attract attention to their "products". I once had my name on an unmentionable site that came up in every google of my name. Not pleasant, but I was not alone.

The day will come, Ann, when your book will be auctioned off at an equivalent sum. We won't be here to experience it perhaps, so profit while you can from this windfall.
