Most interesting ! Thank you.

On the way to buying the book "Blood on the Banner: The Republican Struggle in Clare 1913-1923" at http://www.amazon.com I was surprised to see that the price of a new copy of the book is €24.99 but the price of a secondhand copy starts at €56.46. I conclude that the book is in the same category as wine. Investors should buy copies and lay them up. The potential return on this book is prodigious - more than 100% in 12 months !
