Yeah, I think over 20 bucks.  But then I saw it on eBay for 7 or 8.  Really?  I was suspicious.  But looking the offer over, it was a brand new product, it had free shipping, and estimated delivery was two weeks.  It all looked legit.  Though still suspicious, I ordered it.  Maybe an hour later I get an email from the seller saying it's ready to download.

Now the seller wants me to rate him.  No he doesn't.  If he pushes too hard, I'll give him a negative.

Upon study of the product page, I did see mention of eBook down at the bottom in small print; but wow, 99% of the product page strongly suggests hardcopy.

Anyway, I'll not make a fuss over it.  I'm not much into collecting these days, and we're trying to get rid of books.

Still, it would have been nice to curl up with a hardcopy of this to study at leisure.

P.S. I don't think the artist quite captured Dali's surrealism.  For instance, the burning giraffes looked too cartoonish, whereas Dali tended to give them a dark, brooding mystique.  And there seemed too much melting of objects so it all looked like paisley.
