A Copy of St. Andrews Seven
John Piper said St. Andrews Seven is one of the best books he has read on missions, so a lot of people (including me) flocked to Amazon to buy said book, months ago.
One of the most inspiring books I've read on missions. I hope it comes back into print. http://t.co/nmBvb0EGnH

This book is no longer in print.
That afternoon, the prices increased from $30 to $50 to $75 and then...almost $300? (We're talking about a tiny, used book). I didn't buy it originally because I thought $30 was too steep for a used book...
I was creating an Evernote about the experience today as I sat down to read the copy I checked out at HST (from the phenomenal library on campus), when I decided to check to see if there are any copies on Amazon still for $300 a pop), just for the sake of accurate note-creating, today, and there were some.
The price was still jacked up except for on one copy! Caught and bought after being sought for months--you rascal!
I think I'll wait for that copy in the mail, so I can make notes in it (with pencil).
This evolved from an Evernote note, to a Facebook Status, to a blog post before I could save or submit the former--
My, how things can escalate quickly.
