A number of weeks ago I offered to tabulate the price that was paid for the 
Book of Norman.  I had only 14 respondents.  Some were guessing on the price 
and others included a final price with tax and shipping, but no breakdown. 
Regardless, here are the results:
Six people responded that they had paid $58 which I believe to be the 
original asking price.
Three people stated they each paid $55, $60 and $70 respectively.  This 
probably equates to the $58 plus some form of shipping, tax or a rough guess 
estimate.
One person stated they believe they paid $25.
One person said they paid $48, but they had giving information to the author 
and were discounted for that.
On the higher end two people replied with $200 and $400 payments.
Lastly, one respondent stated that the Book of Norman cost them $45,857.73. 
Any guesses???
So, there you have it.  Not much of a poll.  Well we tried. And..., no 
thanks I'd rather not do it twice (too much going on).
Closing thoughts: Frankly I can think of no other investment I have ever 
made (including real estate) that on a percentage basis has appreciated more 
than the $310 I paid for my Book of Norman.  More so, even in bad times it 
is still in demand and doesn't require a broker to sell.
Thanks to all who participated.
Regards, Tom
