Oligarch Copies

Every once in a while, I come across a neologism that sings in my ears: "anger brigades" and "technicals", are good examples. Add the phrase "oligarch copies" to that list.

The term in refers to a diamond-encrusted edition of Dancing with the Bear: An Entrepreneur Goes East which is aimed, according to the BBC, at rich Russians, presumably those with more rubles than taste. With 600 diamonds, this book isn't for the shy. And with a price tag of over six million dollars, it's not for the poor, either.

Dancing with the Bear: An Entrepreneur Goes East is not yet available in the US, but that just gives you more time to save your pennies--David E
