I thought you were protesting about the increasing cost of POD. The Brontes are in that category of books where rarities are not just of interest to collectors but an investment option for bankers who don't know what to do with all their bonus money. Hence the millionaire-only prices. Nobody who buys these items will read them, though they may possibly stroke the covers while muttering 'My precious'. | ||

I love the fact the Brontes had Glass Town. There was this lovely documentary this year on a man who had suffered brain injury after being beaten up for being a transvestite. He forgot his life and became scared to go out so rebuilt his life in the form of a little village of Action Men. He took pictures of the place and it looked so real. One day a passerby saw him with one of his jeeps walking down the road - the man turned out to have a friend who had an art gallery in New York (hours later) seemed uncertain. | ||
