Either that or way, WAY too much on the Folio Society reprints. I'm reasonably certain my wife would divorce me if I purchased their special limited edition LOTR with the newly commissioned Alan Lee paintings.

At $1500 for the Folio's LOTR, the 1945 "FU, Germany" Morgenthau book that looks to have superseded/merely been postponed by the Marshal Plan at a mere $500 seems reasonable by comparison.

(Best not take either on a red eye. Coffee has a way of spilling on the darn things. Don't get me started on how I ruined an original copy of James Burnham's 1943 copy of "The Machiavellians". Absolutely inconsolable. A crime against bibliophiles everywhere. And it was the PLANE COFFEE! Which is to say, shi***)
