That's unbelievable!  

You may be able to get it from your local library, if such a thing still exists.

If its worth ￡457 its probably been stolen. But I don't think anyone over the age of nine goes to a library any more. I might go to the local library website and do a search just be sure.

OK I did the search at the library and it told me it had "The boy in the striped pajamas"

Well at least they have one book. ☺

I was just browsing the Sky & Telescope shop and Starlight Nights is still advertised, though currently out of stock. Far cheaper than the crooks on Amazon!

they are unique, one moment in the history of time preserved indefinitely.

that can never again be perfectly replicated.

and probably never ever seen again unless someone (your heirs&successors ) has access to the technology to read/resurect your harddrive ! (aka floppy/usbstick/uSD yada)

Present theory suggests that eventually the entire universe will never be seen again, everything is relative!
