Ironweed, by William Kennedy, paperback. Discounting the
two uncorrected proofs (going for $500 and $600, latter
signed), there are 300 listings for this book (which
probably means there are about 200 copies - several are
duplicates) and the price range is $0.49 to $45.63. Note
the nearly 10x range.
uh. Oops. 100x range. But my point stands.
