       3.  Life, the Universe and Everything--Douglas Adams (POCKET
     BOOKS) $3.50.  $3.50!!!!  Ouch!!!!  Such a high price for such
     a small book!!!  Ah well, nobody can ever accuse me of not
     being a completeist!!!

Life, the Universe and Everything (PAN) costs a mere 1.50 pounds
sterling in England - at today's exchange rate, that's approx
$2.25 (of course, by the time you read this message, things
might be wildly different...).
Must be the translation into American that's so expensive.
