Expensive, yes (I looked it up on Amazon), but not in the very high
range as far as expensive books go, and where else can you get so much
published information about fictional languages? I'll keep that on my
shopping list for something to check out after the holidays. And it's
nice that CONLANG got a mention (as well as Teonaht, even if they didn't
get the spelling right).
