My cousin wrote of book of poems (she's now deceased) and she had sent me a free
Copy. It's just a skinny little, self published (I believe) soft cover book.

I go to Amazon where that book and her other books are... all her books are about
$7 or $8.00. This book is $98.00!!
I contacted customer service at Amazon and was told it's sold through a book dealer
And they can charge whatever they want.

I tried to contact the bookseller: CJBooks03 and I can't find them. This is so weird.
I want to purchase more copies but heck, never ever at $98.00.
Any suggestions?

What's the title? Author? I can check Worldcat et al.

I went to Amazon and found this seller. There is a link to email them.

Only two copies are on Amazon.

Lindon8980 is selling it for $98. You can contact that seller by signing in to your Amazon account and scroll down the paragraphs about the seller and then click on Contact this Seller (under Returns and Refunds).

CJBooks03 is selling it for $89.95. Do the same thing for this seller (as above) to contact them.

It's not in WorldCat, so no library owns it and has entered it.

Thank you. I'll try it.
Do you see how crazy it is... this price for a small self published soft cover
Book of poetry by an unknown?

The book got several rave reviews. These could be indie booksellers that grab works by relatively unknown authors and jack up the price. I'm intrigued enough to buy one!

That kind of money for this? I am going to scan the copy I have for someone.
There are many hidden family secrets in these poems... but surely it's not
Worth mega bucks. Have you found out how I can reach the sellers email
Or phone number?? I was unsuccessful.

I had posted this earlier -- if you sign on to your Amazon account and click on the seller's link on the book's page, you'll go to a long description about buying from this seller. Scroll to the bottom where it says Contact this seller. Click that and it will take you to a screen where you can do exactly that.
