The Hegel Society of America has a notice on its website, advertising the sale of a first edition of Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit. A spare $15,000 US, anyone? It just passed its 200th birthday last year. That’s $75 for every year. Which really, makes sense, if you pay something like $75 for a new hardback monograph.
Interestingly, the notice says that of the 765 pages, there are ‘three end pages of German printer ads’. And here I thought advertising in the pages of books and journals was a recent thing!
