Yes, the TidBITS announcement for MacSanta included the line: (Disclaimer: Take Control Books is participating in the MacSanta promotion.) In previous years, they celebrated the anniversary of the launching of the Take Control Books around the first week in November by having a 50% Sale. This year, I guess that the release of Leopard fell too close to that anniversary, and they had a lot of new books released then.
