$58! Holy crap. I should see if I still have any of those in one of these boxes I haven't unpacked yet. I could make a killing.
Edit: that's the first edition of that book all right, but only because that's the only edition there ever was. It is not, however, a first printing. The first printing was perfect-bound (not comb-bound) and had a two-color cover (the ball is turquoise in a first printing).

Today, unexpectedly, this post from 2004 was linked by Slate. (The link text is "a whole new playing field".)
KOMO-4 TV hosted a blog meetup last night. They asked Chris Pirillo to organize it, since he knows literally everybody. I'd link to Chris, except he is already the #1 Google result for his first name, as he pointed out. (He is a good guy, I'm just giving him a hard time.)
I saw people I haven't seen for years, along with a few familiar faces from the meetups at Ralph's, and a whole lot of new people. A group photo was taken on KOMO's "Northwest Afternoon" set. (Sorry, KOMO, there are two other organizations ahead of you for the "NWA" abbreviation.) So far as I can tell, there was no agenda other than meeting each other and enjoying the horse dovers and libations. Apparently they're going to have another one; I'll definitely go. Thanks, KOMO!
