A friend just tried to convince me that I again just straight
transliterated from German, and the word in question (unpayable)
should be rather 'unafordable' or 'way to expensive', but the
story goes different. I've seen that book a first in a large
bookstore, here in Munich, at said price, and I tried several
times to convince myself and buy it, bu I am not able to hand
out so much money for a MS book. I couldn't. What a relive when
the soft cover came arrounde about one or two years later :)
