The [over] price that I paid for this book is so worth it . You see, I ended up buying the last "almost damaged, but not as a sale item" copy on a kind-of high-end bookstore, because I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find another copy. But DFA made that Php xx5 amount I paid for the book worth it!!
