One of the best books on Pontiac Fiero history was written by Gary Witzenburg and its called Fiero - Pontiac's Potent Mid-Engine Sports Car. Its a great hard cover book that explains the cars development at GM the proposals for new designs and just about all else in the cars history. The book has been out of print for a few years and I wanted to read my copy tonight. I thought that I misplaced my copy (but later found it) but in the process I began checking online to see if they were still available. They sure are but for $911 shipped on Amazon. Talk about scalpers. That's nuts! I've purchased low mileage engines for less money. Would you fork over $900 for a book?? ------------------

That was very nice of you to share a book that is worth more than some used cars. If you add the sales tax , the price on Amazon came to over $950. That is really over the top.

Just because somebody is asking that much for it does not mean its worth that much.

It all depends on the content.
If the book contained the recipe of Coca-Cola, ohh yes, no doubt.

I wrote this post because I am taken back when I see insatiable GREED. Yes the supply and demand formula comes into play but geeze really now, what is a book made of paper and cardboard worth? This book is not a one of a kind of artwork, but an item of which many thousands were printed. We may even see it reprinted again as the Fiero Store last did. People can spend their money as they wish but the people looking to take advantage of a situation will end up being taken advantage off when their time comes ------------------
