Just received a notice that a 32 page book about maps of Bahrain will
cost $2512.65.
Has anybody seen this book? Is it printed on vellum and
highlighted in 24K gold or something?

We just received this at MIT. The booklet is in fact 43 pages, but it
comes with 69 maps -- that's the expensive part I guess. The booklet
contains "detailed commentaries accompanying the 69 maps."
Historic maps of Bahrain, 1817-1970 / edited by Robert
L. Jarman. [Southampton?] Archive Editions, 1996.

(We paid something like $1595. I think)
