Wow, that is incredible. Thanks for posting that Sam.
A word of warning. To my surprise, the copy I purchased on-line had an inscription and signature supposedly from Larry Manetti. The inscription was supposedly to his Aunt. Thinking that he may want this copy back for sentimental reasons, I emailed Larry Manetti at his website regarding the inscription and his signature. I described the inscription verbatim, and he kindly replied and said it wasn't authentic. If you are thinking about buying an autographed copy, you may want to see if you can authenticate the signature before you pay big bucks. Just a thought.

IH, is it worth it?
I'll pay $99 for it if it is.

Hey Doc,
I think I paid between $40 and $60 for mine, I can't remember for sure. Is it worth $99? I'd hate to say either way, because as fans we each assess different values to different things. What is worth $100 to one person is not worth it to another. If you look at the book as a piece of MPI history, then it is probably worth $100. If you are looking at the book strictly for its writing and content, then probably not. A fair portion of the book does not deal with MPI at all (most of it does). LM has certain insights that we as fans will never have, so again, in that regard it is worth it. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Wow. The price has really gone up drastically recently. That must be the edition with the gold-foil cover and hologram. 
not a real office like I have been used to. (I don't like leaving my personal stuff in an unsecure area) I know it is around here some place, I never would have given or thrown it away.
