NEW YORK Who says alleged crime doesn’t pay? I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby may or may not get a nice book sale out of his upcoming trial, but owners of out-pf-print or autographed versions of his sole novel, “The Apprentice,” are looking to make a bundle right now.
Since the book, which is set in Japan and features some bizarre sex practices, is out of print, amazon.com is not selling it via the usual channels, but instead offering it for sale from individuals. Some are peddling paperback copies of the 2002 novel for $119 and up, while the hardback (from 1996) is fetching a minimum of $745.

The Libby book conjures a young Japanese man who runs a remote mountain inn and becomes trapped in intrigue. The book includes incest, a hunter who wonders if he should shag a freshly killed deer while it's still warm, and a girl kept in a cage and raped by a bear to train her to become a prostitute.
