Surely it's meant to be £5.00 ?????????????????

If not I'll be looking for this book in the charity shops and boot sales!

Amazon is renowned for this, some twits put books on for way over real price as once in a while (I assume) someone out there must desperatley need the book/not have a clue what they're doing/have more money than sense and pay waaaaaaay over the odds for it.
