Academic Book Comparing Greek and Indian Philosophies--Very Highly Rated and $1.99!

This is an outstanding deal. Here's why: It is . . .
1) 94% off of the regular digital list price (don't adjust your monitor--that's 94%!) of $34.99.
2) $1.99. In real dollars, that's $33 cheaper than you would pay if you had to pay the regular digital list price.
3) A massive book (if you can call a digital book massive)--768 pages in length.
4) A highly rated book at Amazon; a very highly rated book at GoodReads.

Frankly, this is one of the best deals, on a book of this quality, that I've seen in a long time. I have to wonder if this is not a pricing error; thankfully, I've been able to buy a copy for myself at $1.99.

If you have more than a passing interest in the subject (I am one of those who does)you will want to grab this deal if and while you can!

Book Description
This unparalleled study of early Eastern and Western philosophy challenges every existing belief about the foundations of Western civilization. Spanning thirty years of intensive research, this book proves what many scholars could not explain: that today’s Western world must be considered the product of both Greek and Indian thought—Western and Eastern philosophies. Thomas McEvilley explores how trade, imperialism, and migration currents allowed cultural philosophies to intermingle freely throughout India, Egypt, Greece, and the ancient Near East. This groundbreaking reference will stir relentless debate among philosophers, art historians, and students.
