Title: Yes, indeed, you read the price amount correctly
Product review: This is a modern book, not an illuminated Arabic manuscript from the 13th century. You might have expected amazon to send you a precious item at this price. But, surprise: Brill and a few other superb academic publishers exist to get the word out that the highest quality of scholarship continues in our universities. Dr. F. de Jong, as usual, has pulled off a coup with this collection on Sufism and its nasty enemies.De Jong's writings are clear, concise, and weighty with original research. Orientalist minus all the colonialist dross of the oldsters.So, urge your own college or university library to splurge and buy this book for the shelves. The monitor screen has not alienated humanity from hard copy books; quite the opposite. Look at the surge in hard cover book spending in recent years.This is one of those books you (as scholar or student) will consult for years to come. But I still can't afford a personal copy!
