"Flying Squirrels: Gliders in the Dark" @ Amazon

[yubman]

I see that a copy of "Flying Squirrels: Gliders in the Dark" is currently (12/1/05) available from Amazon's Market Place for $75. Not cheap, but not as pricey as I've seen them before.

I was able to score one from Amazon about 6 months ago for $25. So they do turn up from time to time.

[Joan]

It's been out of print for some time.

[BreezieGirl]

Is it really that good of a book? I mean is it worth that much money?

[Joan]

Nothing's worth that much money. LOL

[Deb]

Yeah, just think of the squirrel toys and treats you could buy with that money.

I would love so much to have this book! I'm going to keep a look out for it. Does anyone have it already?

[Joan]

I was able to get it for $40.

[Amy]

Try checking it out from the library. They may not have a copy in your branch, but they can maybe get it for you from the main branch.

And yes, it's worth the money! It's a fascinating book. I've seen them go for $150 on eBay!!!
