On the subject of the forthcoming publication, by OUP (Oxford University
Press), of "Sextants at Greenwich", by Willem Morzer-Bruns and Richard Dunn,
at the eye-watering price of �120-

Perhaps we just have to wait a few years until it gets classified as a
"remaindered" book, if a lesson can be drawn from the snippet below, sent to
other mailing lists by William Tobin.

If OUP had priced that Astrolabes book more reasonably in the first place, 
perhaps they wouldn't have copies left now, that need to be "remaindered".
