Why is SICP so damn expensive?

I can't find it for an affordable price anywhere. Is this book made of gold or something? I hate reading on my PC. Sorry /prog/, but I won't be reading it.

I agree with OP that reading on a PC sucks, if you're actually reading a book cover-to-cover and not just looking something up.  A physical book is so much more convenient to handle than a laptop, especially for long periods of time.  You can take it anywhere, the battery doesn't run down, it's physically much lighter and less fragile, etc. etc.
