Depending, of course, on where you buy it--the cost is the same from Amazon. Outrageous. Won't buy this book, or buy from Berkley/Penguin, until it's offered at a fair price. Amazon lied in promoting the Kindle as a lower cost way to read.The rating, obviously, is directed at price gouging, not artistic merit. However, it reflects on artistic merit in that Sanford, and Berkley, allow it. No shipping costs. No printing costs. Same price. What's wrong with this picture?[Edit: The rating reflects on the ethical merit of Sanford and Berkley, as opposed to artistic.]
