I just received a reply from Patriot Books, who posted the selling price of "A Personal Peace" (as a used library book) on Amazon for $2,453.78.
Their response was, "That was an oops. Thanks for pointing it out."
Anyone wanting to e mail David Briscoe (the author) about the availability of "A Personal Peace" his website is
www.macrobioticsamerica.com. If enough are interested, he may decide to self-publish his book, or opt to use a publishing house again.
Otherwise, scout the used booksellers sites and wait for a good price. At present, the book is out-of-print, but it does become available, reasonably priced, when someone wants to sell their used copy.
I bought mine on Amazon for $6.88.
