It is down right ridiculous the asking price for this book. This is just how much the powers at be do not want us to know our true powers that lie within our beautiful black skin tones. In the 80's this book sold for 20 bucks but since black people are becoming more conscious of who we really are the price of this knowledge has sky rocked anywhere from 550.00 to 1200.00. This is just truly sad but powers at be you can not keep this great information for us any longer.
