I know he’s a fascinating man, but why does the biography of Conrad Black entitled Robber Baron: Lord Black of Crossharbour, by George Tombs cost a hefty £1,274.25 plus postage at Politicos where it is reduced from its normal price of £1,699?

I don’t imagine it will make the best sellers’ list at that price. So I have searched around the internet and deduced that it must be a misprint as I only need to cough up £8.49 at Amazon for exactly the same book where it is reduced from £16.99.

What’s the oddest misprint you have come across recently? And what’s the most you have ever paid for a book, or would be prepared to pay?
