$11K, $3750, Or $3000 - Take Your Pick

A new book about Pele, Pele: Edson Arantes do Nascimento, will be available to the public on December 15th, just in time for Christmas. Remarkably, the suggested retail price on this one ranges from $11,000 to $3000. As is noted in the article, Barnes & Noble is already taking orders for the two less expensive editions. Here are the pertinent details:

• Length: 720 pages long, 1,700 pictures
• Dimensions: 18 inches x 14 inches
• Thickness: just shy of 4 inches
• Weight: 35 pounds
• Signature: supposedly Pele's

At that accessible price, I'm guessing that it'll be under every tree in Brazil's favelas come Christmas morning.
