Which version do you have?
For the absolute cheapest way to own it, grab the Newsstand version for $5. The Standard version at $8 offers slightly better condition or presentation, though scarcity is not a factor here. If you are a casual collector just wanting the book, the Newsstand is fine. However, if you value the standard retail presentation or want the marginally better copy, paying the extra $3 for the Standard is worthwhile.
