After Lynne Cheney convinced her publisher to not reprint one of her earlier novels out of fear of political embarrassment, one copy has been found on the auction block at Ebay.
As of this post, it is going for a mere $61 after 18 bids with still over 5 days left in the auction.
The original price of the paperback was $2.50, yet the winner of the Ebay auction will still not likely be able to make copies of this work for others to enjoy since the original copyright owner wishes to make it disappear.
Yes Sireee! Our great copyright system at work...providing incentives to create works and make sure they get wide distribution in order to promote the arts just like the Constitution suggests....
