I believe you are correct. And I agree about bootleggers completely. I'd far rather folks get the book from their library, or take a trip north, than feed the bootleggers. I didn't even see the more expensive version when I first looked, but saw what I expected - an inexpensive version of a book long past its payout date. That being said, I think S&S's price is frankly outrageous for a book they haven't had any costs on in well more than 50 years.
