The relevant question, posed by Oundslow on the terrible britcom
"Keeping Up Appearances" is:   "Was there a second?"

I bought my Ada first edition at the Woodstock Library Fair in 1983 for
25 cents. In a mere twenty years its value has escalated by 400%! I am
going to buy up all I can find and fund my retirement. 

Full disclosure: In twenty years I haven't finished the damned thing.
Back to Pale Fire...
