I bought the book for $9.89 on kobobooks. At that time, it was listed in the way that non-agency books are--with a standard price and then a discounted price. That meant that you could use coupons, etc. A 20% off coupon made it a real bargain.

It appears that Gaspereau Press decided to end that option as now it is listed for $14.95 with only that one price listed--the indication that the publisher is dictating the price, which cannot be discounted.

PS: A representative from Kobo contacted me. He suggested I talk to Kobo about the pricing as he does not have an Agency price fix agreement. He also said that the quote was not intended to be the put-down that I (and many others) felt it to be.
