A friend of mine picked up "The Book" at B. Daltons at Iroquois mall
in Naperille friday. They charged him $47.20 + tax.
What a rip...

Interesting. I just picked it up at "Software ETC" (the computer section
of the local B.Daltons) for 38.99. It looks like the B.Daltons have a lot
of leeway in their pricing. I picked up Bach's "_The Design of the Unix
Operating System_" there for $42 and then saw the same in an INMAC catalog
for $31!

I just payed $29.50 for my copy at the Village Green (Amherst, NY).
Hey John, I'll sell you a copy if you're interested  :-)
