This must be one fantastic rare book ...

[uss frolick]

... "SS Atlantic: The White Star Line's First Disaster at Sea" by Greg Cochkanoff and Bob Chaulk . Out of print for many years, but still relatively recent. It was about $600 on average last year, but $1,200 today? Really? If demand is this high, and I admit It is a great story, so where is the reprint? All I want to do is read it ...🥺

It's only that valuable if someone pays that for it. 🤪

 

There are ridiculous price ranges on amazon.ca for specialized books too, ranging from reasonable to astronomical. Always bugs me.

Thanks Ron! Just bought it. Now to justify this expense to the Admiral ... "Honey, I  just saved more than eleven hundred dollars!"

Just think of how many books you can get for eleven hundred dollars!  Treat yourself-- you earned it!

If you find enough books, you can spend your Admiral an own ship from the saved money.

One of the many reasons to love MSW.... the help members offer to one another like the post from Ron above with an alternate source for Mr. Frolick.  Nicely done.
