When a book is titled, Prehistoric Steppe Adaptation and the Horse, you know it covers a few years before Hadrian was born. Yet even the Romans used horses, which of course originally came from the steppe. Well, anyway, I thought it might be an interesting volume, perhaps quite dry but hopefully interesting to someone like me. :whistle:
BUT there is a slight problem. The book was published in 2005 by the McDonald Institute, not to be confused with a Big Mac. And evidently, to save moola, the McDonald folks printed just enough copies to give one to each of its several contributors. A thorough search on the internet has produced the following prices: :woot:
Amazon.com--- Sorry, Not Available
Books A Million-- Nope, Not Available
Barnes & Noble-- Yup, Not Available
Amazon.ca-- $1,371.31 Canadian (slightly over my budget)
Amazon.fr-- 912,31 Euros
Bokus.com-- 696 Euros (What? No additional 31 piddlinas?)
Well, you get the picture.
You're not going to find anyone reviewing this jemmo for awhile. After all-- it's THE Secret Book. :eek:
