Sounds an interesting book, but for that money I hope it's gold plated and come with a beautiful slave to turn the pages!!!
I've got my beadies* on the hard back edition which is 'from £28' - no idea
where that other price came from except it's being sent from Florida...

The next cheapest is £37.50.
I did a course with him at the Natural History Museum about ten years
ago and it was great - and hopefully I'm booked on the two-dayer at
Woodsmoke later this year.

*bought it - all 457 pages of it. Might have to bring a big strong bag in to
work on Friday!

Oxford University Press don't appear to publish it anymore so I suspect the price is a reflection of it being rare and desirable.
The ones going for £28-£37 are not "Oxford" dictionaries but are by the same author.
