So I’ve owned this paperback copy of John Steinbeck’s East of Eden since the 90’s. It was always one of my favorite novels and I’ve enjoyed watching so many young people rediscover it recently. It seems to be really trendy right now amongst the Booktok crowd.

For some reason, this specific paperback edition is selling (or at least attempting to be sold) for unusually high prices on eBay. $130. $150. $500?! Can someone explain to me why? It’s just an old Penguin paperback. Am I missing something here?
