We do? I wondered why they are so expensive. I don't mean fixed minimum prices, but standard pricing, so they don't cost wildly different amounts. And standard pricing for certain things - such as the Amazon 9.99 price for bestsellers. The way it is now, I don' want to buy anywhere, unless I have to have the book. AS I mentioned earlier, my friend has a book on Amazon, and the Kindle version is more expensive than the hardcover. That doesn't make any sense at all. Clearly, they are going to lower the price when (if) the paperback version comes out.
