At first, I was overjoyed when I received my copy of this book. However, when an enemy in my department showed me HER copy, I found that they were the OPPOSITE of random - they were IDENTICAL.
Its list of deviates is very nice for someone in my profession, however.

Oh, thanks, nice find - that's the one book of the three in the collected I hadn't thought to look up ... seems The Wig was republished in 1993 and there's copies floating about.
The $85ish dollar copies have disappeared from Amazon and it's over $155ish now. I'd been looking up Wright after doing some follow-up on Fran Ross' Oreo, but it seems he's just been referenced in the NY Times:http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/27/books/12-new-books-were-reading-this-summer-and-6-not-so-new.html

The copy I have of this is apparently now worth $1,800. And the few copies going for $500 the last time I checked are no longer available. I can't imagine any human being is actually buying this book for anything more than $10.

Funnily enough, you can buy a box of the first 28 books in the Cahiers series for half that price (£400), which still includes this book. You just can't buy it as a standalone anymore.
