Magic Marmalade 15th Jan 2018		Holy spice-mining worm-do Batman! ...my SF Masterworks "worm cover" hardback that I've uploaded image of here is listed on ebay and Amazon at £250!!! ...Am I missing a decimal dot somewhere? .....surely it hasn't acquired that kind of value in just a matter of months? No other SF Masterworks series books seem to go for anything like that. Is this accurate... and if so, what possible explanation is there? (this comment is from another edition of this book)
