Perhaps include in the title that this is from 2011.

I haven't seen these kind of things recently, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Sometimes I have fun searching for generic stuff (like 'book') in Amazon and then ordering by descending price. Right know for example you can get "Educational Research: Competencies for Analysis and Applications (with MyEducationLab) Value Package (includes SPSS 16.0 Student Version for Windows)" [1] for a mere $11,259,120.28. Please notice that it is the value package :-).

Not to that extreme price but very frequently long-tail books jump from mid-teens to low-thousands and then back down.

I noticed one today on Amazon UK,"Der Alpha Jet" jumped from £16 to £1964.73 as sold by Amazon itself.
