Keegan Paul, a vererable scholarly British publisher since the end of the 19th
c., must have been taken over by BrainWorm-Invested Bean-Counters a few years
ago.
i (as a dealer) got a catalogue from them and was amazed --and amused-- by the
stuff in their list, all of it outrageously priced, new writings for $200-300,
reprints of older (frequently *much* older) works in the Public Domain
starting at $100.
Wallace Budge @ $125 a pop.
wow.
i was looking at my copies of the Dover reprints from the '60s on my shelves,
wondering how on earth i could Cash Out for 50% of their retail...
i didn't think to look for typos in the authors' names, however.
