Hello John!

[1] How many of these are being printed?

The Boys from Biloxi - Limited Edition
A Legal Thriller
By (author): John Grisham
9780385548946

[2] In these days of people looking for lower prices of books, and ebooks, HOW
does RH justify printing these editions and at that the $324 price?

Oh! The special signed edition! Very few of these are being printed, I'd say
under 200 copies. These are mostly for special orders. We've had asks in the
past for special editions, so this is in part an answer to that.
