              Hello, all-- <br>
              <br>
              <i>Repair Work Ethnographies</i> looks like it could be a
              wonderful work, but Palgrave has it on the market for
              $96.00 (Kindle for $94.00). Such a prohibitive cost means
              that it won't make course lists or even personal
              bookshelves any time soon, and it will even be a tough
              sell for libraries. I've never understood the logic of
              such a pricing strategy. <br>
