One doesn't simply "walk into Powell's for one book..."

$550 later...

("They come in SETS?")

Technically you bought one book and left with one book. Had you walked into Powell’s for one and only one book you would have failed. You can’t buy a set without buying one.

The sets aren't the book I came for. :)
