Looks like a decent amount of the US shops will just be auctioning their copie(s). Only found the book on a couple of the US webshops and it was listed as out of stock for $1500. Other places referenced auctions.

I'm skeptical about one of the Irish bookstores.... I purchased it at 1:25pm (Eastern Time) and it's still available...

If it’s the one I’m thinking of it says available but you can’t actually add it to your basket or check out

I just ordered from them a month ago - very good customer service. They might have nabbed it in turn from one of the bigger sites, as that happened with the item I bought from them.

Werent the signed lyrics books going for 7-10k at some point? Its a mark-up for sure, but might be a decent price considering limited and demand? Not a Beatlemaniac myself, just curious?

I think you are right, but imo it is still crappy for bookstores to sell a preorder book for 2-3x the suggested publisher's price ($1500 in this case). Similar to when some stores were trying to sell the $50 Cormac McCarthy book set for $700+.

Auctions I don't really have any issue with, unless you are starting it at 3500+.
