Mark Kostabi's book, Sadness Because The Video Rental Store Was Closed, includes many beautiful and unique works of art. The book is somewhat rare, but can be found from used dealers. Interestingly, it varies greatly in price depending on the seller. Good copies can be acquired for as little as 9 or 10 dollars, while others sell them for over 100 dollars. The Strand bookstore in Union Square, New York City, has a good condition copy in a locked glass display case. Of over "18 miles of books," it is one of only a few that is honored with being displayed behind glass. Also of note is that the book carries no price tag, but a simple inquiry to the staff will yield a price of 75 dollars. Amazon.com currently (June 10, 2006) has a seller giving up a used copy, signed & dated by Mark Kostabi, for less than 10 dollars. To further the discrepency issues, another seller on the same Amazon page is asking more than 100 dollars for a non-signed copy in similar condition.

needs some work

this reads as a puff piece.. i'll try to do some work on sourcing it, and making it more objective,but any help is welcomed.. this guy is primarily notable b/c he signs his name to other artists' work and takes credit for the works as his own... --Jkp212 (talk) 16:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
