The trailer for "The Law" came out, gives no hints beyond what we already know.

I suspect because all the written special editions had sold, so we have to thank all the fans with more money than sense.

They are never going to have more sense, and now they have less money.

Hopefully, nobody spent money they needed for other purposes.

Plenty of rich people can afford stupid purchases, and while it may technically leave them with "less money," it's often not an amount they would ever notice or miss; if your cashflow in & out is in the multi-millions per year, a $500 impulse-buy is meaningless.

Other folks have to think hard about whether they can refill a critical 'scrip on time and still make mortgage, or if they need to skip a dose or three; $500 would destroy their personal finances.

I have a lot of rich people as customers, and the majority of them hate to overpay. And nobody wants to feel like they'd been taken advantage of.
What I'm saying is: Rich or average or poor makes little difference in such a purchase. If you want it, you'll buy it. I bet less than a quarter of the customers for this novella were actually rich.

Oh, yeah, sure!
Mostly the ones who bought the 26 "Lettered" volumes; but as you say, "don't wanna overpay" is a thing that will send some of them to the cheaperless-eyebleeding books; but that run of 2000 isn't going to break very many budgets.

Impulse luxury buy maybe..  However as an investment? Maybe, maybe not, rare books can be worth a lot of money over time, but that is a gamble based on a lot of factors.  My brother in law is in the used and rare book business, and disappoints people all of the time.  So it might some day be jack pot time, or like that "special issue collection" you got from the Franklin Mint.  If you can afford it and enjoy it for it's own sake, go for it.. But most rich people got rich because they were prudent, and I bet a lot of them were willing to wait for the four buck Kindle version, just like the rest of us.

The things I really want don’t exist.

Until I will them into existence.

Like an Ewokskin Rug.

There's a family of 5 that live in my village. Should be enough for 2 rugs. Bring a gun.

The cubs really can’t be used for Trophy rugs.

But they make excellent novelty slippers. Very comfy.

I am a maker, and basically can make anything I desire. At the moment I am making a steampunk version of the Third Doctors Sonic Screwdriver (the version used in the Sea Devils’ my earliest recollection of Doctor Who). Both items are part of a larger collection which I exhibit at Comicons, SF Conventions and Steampunk Exhibitions in support of Museums. It is called The Little Old Curiosity Shop of Horrors.

Don't forget the linings of hoods!  Incomparably soft & luxurious.
