Utopia
Thomas More
Filiquarian, 2007
$2.39 for a book from the 1500s?
Assuming copyright law hasn't gone totally haywire since I last checked, Amazon is asking money for something in the public domain. This book is almost 500 years old. It belongs to the culture at large. So what does this $2.39 cover? Packaging and distribution? ...

A Doll's House
Henrik Ibsen
Filiquarian, 2007
somaia n. A Doll's House

The Autobiography Of An Ex-Colored Man
James Weldon Johnson
Filiquarian, 2007
Ohio teach sez
This is a work of fiction, not Johnson's autobiography. Johnson was a major figure in African-American arts and politics. He did not, as the title character does, spend the last half of his life "passing for white" as a Wall Street investor!
