Thoughtland came upon the massed might of Edinburgh University Press at this year's Edinburgh International Book Festival, where its academically-inclined little soul leapt at the range of absurdly-priced works covering one entire shelf - everything from a history of Ibn Khaldun to the Baudrillard Dictionary. We would love to (and intend to) talk to EUP's publishers, and ask them exactly who does buy a slim hardback priced £50 on Deleuze's Hume (tempted, so tempted... but resisted). But a sign of a community of scholars in the rudest health.
