For more than a year I have noticed that often a new book priced around $15 or so, would eventually drop to the good ol' $9.99. I'd make a note of such books and wait them out.

Now I am chagrined to notice that the opposite is happening. I will list some books that are $9.99 to get later, and when I need some new ones, I find they have shot up in price.

So, a warning to all, who like me, get samples only: better check the price if you get to the sample end before you buy, or you may be shocked at the higher price.

Looks as though Amazon is playing games with us.
