 :: At the time, yes.  The cheapest I could find it was for €35 or so, and that was only six months into the recession or so (when the euro was still relatively expensive compared to the dollar); shipping would have effectively doubled the cost, as well.  But, I recently found it re-printed and sold for €11.25, with shipping to the US free with orders of €25+ (so, I also bought another book on the Rif War (another article I plan to edit)). ''''''
