The book called Photoshop Channel Chops is getting up there in price. On Amazon U.S., the cheapest one is $99. The next one up costs $142.49, and the most expensive one is $499. To sell for these prices it must have reached the status of legendary book.

I just checked mine and it's in excellent shape, even though it is next to a window that is always open. But I think I should move it to a safer location. Maybe in a few years I can use it as a down payment on a condo.

Maybe the authors could talk the publisher into doing a updated version. The only other channels book I've heard of is Kelby's. I haven't had a look at it, though.

Dang. Been sitting in my Amazon wish list forever. Guess I should not have kept procrastinating buying it. <sigh>

I bought Makeready a week ago for less than it cost new. I wonder if this one will shoot up in price some day.
