Sharpe's Portfolio Theory and Capital Markets insanely overpriced!

[Grizwold]

Hello 2+2ers,

I read few chapters of <u>Portfolio Theory and Capital Markets</u> in the campus library yesterday and was unable to put it down.

I'll certainly finish reading it in the library, but as a finance student and future finance professional, I'd really like to have my own copy. So I checked the back of this old edition and found a handwritten price, 12.99. So I come home to check for it online and can only find new editions, list price at 34.95, but not available at any retailers. The only copies I can find are 'used' ones on amazon, ebay, etc, selling for $150+. Anyone know a source for a reasonable priced edition? For $150, I expect authentic Sharpe and Markowitz autographs! Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Clark
