https://www.amazon.com/Triple-Crown-...=felix+francis

Hard cover - 37.99$. Paperback - 11$. Kindle - 28.49 $ (!).

(prices of course may/will change for each viewer, but that's what I see now. Also note that this are 2 sales for the same book with totaly different prices).

• Hardcover $15.75 (discounted by Amazon from $28.00)
• eBook $12.99 (can't be discounted by retailer)

• Paperback $11.00 (discounted by Amazon from $16.00) (won't be out until July at which time the eBook should drop too)
