I suppose my question is - would reading books like that - buying it in instalments in magazines as it comes out - be cheaper than the figure you’ve mentioned for the whole book? Ie less than 200$
WOW I had no idea that a book was that expensive in the 19th century! That’s nuts. Could you share any more information on the price of books historically ? What about the “zine” type magazines that were popular at the time? I was under the impression that Dickens and Dostoyevsky both published in these magazines that would publish chapters at a time? Is that corrrect ?

Seems like Cormac is an exception. I do get the impression he doesn’t watch TV though.
