    SB, those manuscripts do not surprise me as commanding such a price, given their wide acceptance and the fame of the author in question. But I did not think Mackay's book was such a seminal work, nor was he such an accomplished author (although I have not done any research, so forgive me if I am wrong). I could very well be wrong, possibly 50 years from now a signed copy of the "Dummies Guide to the Internet" will command such a price. Who knows will be valued in the future?

    I'll have to agree with your assesment of MacKay.The reason the price is high is because its signed by the author.Collecters will pay anything for that.I've seen signed books sell at auction for ten times the price of an unsigned one.
