    That book is more collectible than Megos themselves

    I love to own one someday but at those prices it's never going to happen

        That's cool that you got it personalized! And you're only a stalker if you follow through!!!

            Wow, I got mine rom Barnes & Noble for cover price and then gave it away here a couple years ago.

            I even use to own two figures that were pictured in the book, the loose Joker and loose Riddler (I believe).

              I'd let mine go for $700.

              No I won't.

                      Im very happy to own two copys of the book. One book i ordered from Mr. Holcomb personaly four month ago. The shipping to Germany took 3 weeks and than i held it in my hands. He personalized it for me too with a nice drawing . And the contact with Mr. Holcomb via E-mail was fantastic.

                      The other copy i ordered from "Thalia" who is a big book store in Germany. I never believed that the book finaly came to me. They call the cover price for it without shipping costs. I wait for month and nothing happends. But finaly there was a card in my postbox and the book has arrived. It took 5 Month.

                      My advise is: Try to order it in a great book store who has it still in the sale.
                      Than wait. Here in Germany the bookstores do everything to obtain it for you. Maybe it last 6 month. But its worth.

                        Glad I got mine at cover price when I did.

                        Some of those Amazon dealers are just ridiculous. $ 900... Nine hundred dollars??????? For a used copy?

                          I got mine a year ago for like $30 shipped. What's with the crazy prices? Is there a hoarder buying up all copies?
