No one says you have to buy it!
There is a cash crisis in UK too, I have just had a baby and my wife is earning nothing at the mo. Don't buy it. Wait till Feb when the paper back comes out, amazon has pre order already listed at £8 not sure what that is in $ but there is an option. I really fancy this but cant afford it.
I pre ordered D Romance. as my wife should be back to work then.
Look at ebay or other book seller site hunt for a bargain.
I dont blame the author. We are all reading a great author who releases a lot of Ltd Edt hard core horror. Deadite are helping us out but it isn't Mr Lee's fault.
Keep the good stuff coming
) Go to amazon and preorder it. I did, because I have children to feed a disabled hubby to care for and can't afford Limited. But guess what? Every book I've ever wanted of Eds is either preordered or sitting on my shelves and I haven't paid more than $20 for any of them (DR, I figure, will be available to me in a couple years).
. Its there for good. I just wanna shout. Wake up stupid and smell the coffee. 
But I'm sure sometime down the road, we'll all be getting the dose of Lee we need. Can't go blaming Lee, as he has stated a few times that I have read here, he just writes, and thank god he does. And the publishers, well they have their reasons. Since I usually buy TPB, I know it is always a bit of a wait for them after the hardcover comes out. Sure sometimes it sucks that those darn buggers with money to play with get the goods first, but don't worry all us poor bastards will get it too. Don't give up on Lee!! And when you can help out the small publishing houses and buy something, when and if you can afford it of course, you'll be happy when you get it. Sweet quality paper, binding, a signature you can scratch and sniff, the envy of all your friends. And I swear if another "friend" steals one of my books.... 
But I know that paperback is just around the corner.
