The net has been a blessing and a curse to the used book business. Rare items have appreciated, the value of more common titles has plummeted, it seems to be a race to zero.

Another thing about the net and used books, a lot of amateurs have gotten involved. For example, in your link a couple of sellers are calling the 1953 edition a first edition. If you scroll down you find the 1938 edition - the real first edition. Gotta be careful!
