Jason- I couldn't agree with you more. I think the rare book business is the biggest racket out there. It makes baseball card dealers look like choir boys. I've sold a number of better baseball books to book dealers at what I thought were fairly aggressive prices. Then at some future date I would check their websites and see the same volume marked up 500%. It's ludicrous, and you're right, the books sit for years unsold, and they don't seem to care.
