I should go into the textbook business.

Rudin is one of the best author's I've read, though that list is pretty short. It's probably almost worth all that money.
 
how much fun did you have?

Pugh Analysis is better.
 
I've checked amazon and the only book of his that costs so much is functional analysis but still it doesn't cost 150 dollars.
