      It’s a pretty good price! Don’t know what they’re charging to ship though…forgot to ask.

    This has been on my wish list @ Amazon for quite some time. It looks like a gorgeous book. This a great deal. Hmm – maybe I’ll request it for my birthday [which is in August, so the timing works].

      At the moment, it’s much cheaper than at Amazon — unless the shipping cancels it out.

    Ugh, I just did my budget for the month, and now you throw me off with this? Hmm…maybe some of the people I have to buy wedding gifts for wouldn’t notice not getting anything?

      I take it you don’t think they’d want this for a wedding present 😉

        As if I would share it! No, it will be mine and all mine. I’ll just spend LESS on the wedding gifts. 🙂 I can rationalize buying this: I need to stop carrying around my copy of The Guide and find something new to obsessively read.

          Highly recommend Micheal Edwards Perfume Legends as well — learned more from that than any other perfume book.

            Put in an automatic search at ebay…it took me over a year, but I ended up getting it for about $100.
