Quote - Yup...here's an odd thought...if you bought the book while it was considered 'non-fiction', it might be worth more, if it's labelled that way, since it's now a limited print run...;)

It would be highly collectable for anyone that collects "misprints", but, the publisher will have to re-release the book as fiction first.  As it is now, it will be sought after as a "novelty" item and there are some that will pay semi-big bucks for it (keeping the new article with it to show provenance of the book as a hoax), but, for the book to become a possibly expensive truely collectable item the publisher will have to go back to the presses and reprint as a fiction book.  IF they do this, it will be years from now.  They will want as much time and separation from this current event to pass and hopefully be forgotten about by as many people as possible.

Speaking as a collector...to anyone that does have the book, even if they don't reprint as fiction, keep you little fingers on it and if possible get an original news release about the book being a hoax and you might have a very nice auction piece one day in the future.
