less than 3 USD, for international readers

it also came with Yet Another copy of Max Robertson’s “The Game of Mah Jong”

first published in 1938, up until the late 1990s this was the 4th best-selling book of all time in NZ – after Edmonds, Yates, and Whitcombe (I haven’t been able to source more recent statistics)
