> just one of those stories that keeps getting bigger There are apparently still records of 37 transactions paying more than a what was then "good yearly wage" for a bulb. Moreover, from another history book, after the "crash" "in Haarlem, the city with the biggest volume of tulip bulb trading and thus the city with the most problems" ... "the local court there refused to hear disputes relating to the tulip trade." That obviously lowered the chance of having the records about the direct effects of the crash.
