[aus.general] The price of Digital Press books

chris@wacsvax.OZ (chris mcdonald) (04/09/90)

I've just received a new list of Digital Press books, via my DECUS mailing
label. I'd be quite happy to buy a couple of them but ...

Many have said that John Quartermain's "The MATRIX: Computer Networks and
Conference Systems Worldwide" is a definitive book about networking and
the Internet, but at $127, Digital Press mustn't want to sell any.

Similarly, finding out about that thing called VMS can't be all bad for my
education. I can buy a 4.3BSD Lefler etal. or a SysV Bach for about $35
each, but Digital Press want $160 for VAX/VMS Internals and Data
Structures" (paperback! and its only Ver4.4).

Don't they want to sell any? Not even DECUS discounts!
Anybody know of some exclusive bookstores selling these at reasonable prices?
