Default The Odyssey of a U-Boat Commander

I wanna read this book, but $103 is more than I can afford. Checked the Houston library, no luck. Anyone know of a cheaper paperback edition?

http://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-U-Boat.../dp/0275938980

Any ideas? Has anyone read this?

That is quite pricey. But it could be worse...

Yup, that's one I want to get my hands on as well. It's on my Wish List at Amazon... keep promising myself that I'll treat myself out of a holiday bonus or some such, but the money always ends up being needed elsewhere.

I haven't seen a cheaper version anywhere either, and Amazon's usually the cheapest source that I trust anyway.

Never spent anywhere near that much on just one book before, but eventually I'll cough it up because, dude, it's TOPP.

I'm getting a broken link message when I try to go to bookfinders.com - anybody else having any luck with that?

Did a Froogle search for sellers, here's a link to that:

http://www.google.com/products/catal...7&os=sellers#p

Looks like the lowest price is around $78 but I've never heard of that seller.

Thanks for that. I was amazed that our little thread was so high up there, and the thread was so new. Mysterious Google!
