It would be a shame if most of our group can't participate this month because of price or availability. The discussion is the point. I can see why people were blindsided; who would have imagined that a hundred-year old novel by a Nobelist was impossible to purchase for all practical purposes? And I do think a price of over £20 qualifies as impossible.

As I said upthread, the local university has the hardback, so I'm set. I'm caucusing with the group hoping for a revisit of this issue in the interest of inclusiveness, but it's up to sun surfer. I'm happy to read Buddenbrooks.
