A story about how the coronavirus outbreak is leading to some scams--even among booksellers

Posted: Sun, Apr 5, 2020 8:56 AM

The coronavirus outbreak is leading to some strange situations.

Area author Larry Peterson says he has learned that a copy of the autobiography he wrote, named "Surviving America," is now on sale on Amazon for over $1,000!  The book sells for less than $30 in hard cover most places but someone is trying to get a lot more than that.  Says Peterson, "I imagine it's because of the title!"

Here's the link to the seller's page 

Says Peterson, "a third party is trying to sell a $25 book for a little over $1,000!"

Peterson's book is available at Luther College Library and Decorah Public Library--although you'll have to wait until those libraries reopen.
