Hmmmm....although I don't remember specifically where I bought my DTB copy, it would have been at an ordinary B&M bookstore back in the days when such things existed, not at an academic bookstore, since I didn't live near enough to any academic bookstore to shop there (or pay academic bookstore prices). It would have likely been on the "World History" shelf or something like that, since I mostly read mysteries and history. I was expecting this to be priced more like Peter Fay's
The Opium War (Kindle US $16.19) or Jared Diamond's
Guns, Germs and Steel (Kindle US $10.49) or
Collapse ($15.99).
Still going to wait for the 90% coupon, or maybe I'll just find and sacrifice my own DTB copy to scan.
