Hello John!

 JD> $250 is just blatant robbery.

I'm sure the Limited Editions are very nicely built.

Obama's book:

 A Promised Land | Hardcover
Barack Obama
Pblisher: Crown
Biography & Autobiography / Presidents & Heads of State / Political Science /
American Government - Executive Branch / History / United States - 21st Century
Published Nov 17, 2020
$45.00 US / $55.00 CA list price

  ..seemed like an impressive volume in terms of material  
quality.  Someone remarked "it was designed to last".

Even this one seemed quite impressive at the price:

 Telephone Tales | Hardcover
Gianni Rodari | Valerio Vidali | Antony Shugaar
Enchanted Lion Books | Enchanted Lion Books
Juvenile Fiction / Humorous Stories / Imagination & Play / Short Stories
Ages 8-12
Published Sep 18, 2020

"Every night, at nine o'clock, wherever he is, Mr. Bianchi, an  
accountant who often has to travel for work, calls his daughter  
and tells her a bedtime story. But since it's still the 20th  
century world of pay phones, each story has to be told in the  
time that a single coin will buy.

"Reminiscent of Scheherazade and One Thousand and One Nights,
Gianni Rodari's Telephone Tales is composed of many stories--in
fact, seventy short stories, with one for each phone call. Each
story is set in a different place and a different time, with
unconventional characters and a wonderful mix of reality and
fantasy. One night, it's a carousel so beloved by children that
an old man finally sneaks on to understand why, and as he sails
above the world, he does. Or, it's a land filled with butter
men, roads paved with chocolate, or a young shrimp who has the
courage to do things in a different way from what he's supposed
to do.

It's an entertaining piece of construction in addition to the  
stories within.
