I am interested. I will trade five (5) slightly used prime numbers for it.

Sure, why not. As soon as someone offers something I'd like to get, for
which they would like the five even more slightly used primes. :-) But
seriously, it'll be cool to trade for the book and get something useful
I'd want anyway... If not I'll probably chuck it to the public library
with a post it note that says Anonymous Donation. :-)
