Subject: Re: Burma Behind the Mask -OVERPRICED$$$$$

sorry- but you really should do something about the price, its way too
bloody expensive, to be ridiculous, unfortuately, especially for
students, when the money should go elsewhere 

i suggest you scan it on the net! or lower the price to a more
reasonable balance.
