There's nothing wrong with spending a ridiculous amount of money on a book you want! Thirty bucks isn't bad; I once spent $230 on a copy of Bernard Heuvelmans' classic cryptozoology work "On The Trail Of Unknown Animals". I don't regret a cent of it. You should buy the book you're considering. In fact, you owe it to yourself. Just think of all the money you're saving by contolling your ebook addiction...uh...hmmmm. I still think you should buy it.
