Well, to be honest, you can get a copy without paying:

However, using the logic that expensive things are better, it is obvious that 
the Libre version that is avaibable gratis is basically worthless, the Libre, 
non-gratis digital pdf version that is available for $1.69 is worth a little 
something but the Libre paperback that costs $999,999.99 is a fantastic book 
indeed.

I tired to price the paperback at a million dollars but lulu would not let me 
go that high. It would have been an even better book if their platform or 
policy did not mess it up that little bit.

all the best,
