He must have been just starting out in the dictator business. That same guy flies to London once a year and brings back a suitcase full of books every time. After he sells them he's paid for his vacation, and if he's lucky there is a little bit left over. Wish I was that smart.

it is harder and harder to find reasonably priced older books

Blame the internet! I can't believe how prices of fairly common stuff has shot up the past few years.

I flipped through The Rule of Four, but didn't bring it home. This whole thing got started with this book. I think Dan Brown drew heavily from it. I really enjoyed it when it first came out.

But like most things of that nature, the claims appear to be dubious. This might be the most elaborate prank of all time!
