Wow, is this really what people are willing to pay for this book? I have an English copy kicking around somewhere . . .

In order to command such prices, the book must be very rare, no? And if you can suffer through reading it (very awkward writing/translation style) . . . it gives so many details about past mistakes that B&O, from a management perspective, repeats over and over, for many decades.

But the really sad part about this is that this book is being collected by enthusiasts, rather than being read by B&O's management. These days, methinks they could really use a reminder of some of their own company history . . .

Quite affordable delivery, though

It must be one of those folks who think that anything with "B&O" on it is worth a fortune.

Or then there really is something in this book. There's another (used, in Danish) one at US Amazon for $1,596.95...
