Easy Mark?  Why you ---.......  That's what I get for being a nice guy!  OK
seriously I don't believe in screwing people and that's why hoar's like this
(deliberate misspelling, don't want to clutter Derrick's site) piss me off.
And yes, to combine this answer with John Swindler's comment ERA still has a
few TTC books for sale, cheap.

I think Red Arrow can still be had for a bit less than this but maybe not.
The price is in Canadian loonies and it probably isn't much more than $115
US.  I used this as a sample for the list because at least it was a
Pennsylvania book and that way I could sort of rant on about the Toronto
prices indirectly (sorry, Derrick).
