Vollmann Rising Up
In the interview that I linked to in my morning post, William T. Vollmann mentioned that the original seven-volume set of Rising Up and Rising Down is now out of print. This led me to wonder just how much this nice, mint-condition, still never read collection of books sitting on top of one of my bookshelves might be worth. So a quick check of Amazon made me, well, consider the future of my ownership of this collection. Right now, the low price for the set is $475. Do you know how many boxes of diapers or bottles of baby food that much cash could buy?
Beautiful. So if I hold on to mine for a good 20 years, how much will it fetch?
