Did you know that for a mere $753.00 you can buy Alex Stillwell's
Technique of Teneriff book? I've been noticing this a lot with Amazon's
general books too. Apparently these books are all coming out of Hong

Sharon is correct. But there is one other thing you need to be aware of...

I buy their book I buy it direct from them and THEY receive the full sale
price.

I don't know whether anyone has mentioned this lately, but if you've check
out Amazon.com recently you will notice that some books are going for
outrageous prices. With nothing better to do tonight I checked out some
lace books. Did you know that for a mere $753.00 you can buy Alex
Just because they ask very high prices does not mean they can get buyers.
They can ask and we can refuse! That said, it is really too bad that so
