This is correct. I collect certain old books. For a real shocker, take a look at this slim volume on quantitative analysis and the stock market.
http://www.amazon.com/Beat-Market-Scientific-Stock-System/dp/0394424395/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327599598&sr=1-3The used copies range from a few hundred to a significant amount, and the collectible ones (including a signed first edition) top out at $2,495.00 (anyone who likes is welcome to purchase that signed first edition and send it to me as a gift).
I really wish they would just reissue the book. I'd buy it. It doesn't even need updating (I'd prefer that it wasn't). It could be a celebration of the 35th year since its publication.
Sometimes a paper book is better (the wiring book is another excellent example).
