darkstar965 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'll out myself and admit that I bought a copy after seeing Tweaked's post. And, when I felt lucky and put the "one copy left" in my shopping cart, I noticed that suddenly there were four copies left. Even now, more than 50 hours after the initial post, there are mysteriously 2 left. I think bookcloseouts.com has mastered a basic principle of ®etailing: exclusivity sells. No regrets though. Big R.W. Apple fan. Thanks for the pointout, Tweaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Ziebold Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I can now confirm that it is still listed on the website, although when I clicked print my receipt it froze my computer so I guess I'll see if it actually shows up. Additionally, if you're interested in a great Johnny Apple article I would encourage you to read Americana, Salted, Smoked, and Sliced Thin, the article he wrote for the NY Times on VA Ham. (If I knew how to paste the link I would, instead you'll have to google Darden Country Store NY Times and it will come up) It's a great, great article/story. On a tangent I'm a huge fan of the Darden Ham, we recently raffled one off in Sou'Wester but that's a much different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hersch Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Over at www.bookfinder.com, they appear to have 35 copies new and 169 copies used, although the latter probably contains some duplicate entries for the same copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol_ironstomach Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 FWIW, local favorite remainderer of book inventories Daedalus Books has plenty of pristine paperback copies for $3.98. Picked one up this weekend at their warehouse store in Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
