I've been wanting to read the out of print "Stand on It" by Stroker Ace (aka William Neely and Bob Ottum) for quite a few years but every time I looked into buying a used copy the sellers were always asking outrageous prices. I'm not going to pay $75 or $80 for a book that nobody cares about except me. Well after quite a few years of looking, I found a seller that was asking $8. Sold. I'm not saying I had high expectations but "Stand on It" is not worth $80. It's a funny book but it's nothing special. It really doesn't have much of a story. It's just a semi-raunchy 70's comedy similar to other books that came out back then. I'm glad I read it. I won't be trying to sell it for $80. I plan on dumping it on my brother.
