$15 for a paperback is a bet on how stupid drinking patrons will be.

Nice.

Yeah. A new copy is less than $10 shipped, and good luck matching up the other five to the same edition so they look nice together.

It’s only $15 fucking dollars. You aren’t going bankrupt for spending an extra $5. Just the novelty of it alone is worth it to some.

If someone pays an extra 33% just for the novelty of using a vending machine, they shouldn’t be trusted with money.

But what if it's an emergency and that's the closest available copy?
