Got £400 burning a hole in your pocket?

It is a wonderful book but I'm not sure it is £400 good! :shock:

Last year I purchased the Medlar Press edition for £80.00 off Ebay, it looks like it's never been read. I thought that was over the top, but what a lovely read this book is. The wife thinks I got a bargain for thirty quid. :chuckle:
