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.

C only survived because it is the only mid-level language and as such gives control over the machine unlike other bullcrap like VMs and shit .
most other languages are also OO so you pretty much have to settle with C .
and the STDlib is absolute bullcrap , i dont know why someone would still use this bloat boat .
