I realize that this is way off-topic for this list, and I apologize for that...
But there's a rather nice web-site put together by Steve Wells and Brian Gannon
that compares prices of books at a number of on-line sites:
http://www.snmputils.com/booksearch/
It's amazing how the prices vary. For example, a search for Nathan Meyers'
"Java Programming for Linux" (ISBN 1571691669) turns up:
SITE PRICE
VCSS $29.99
KingBooks $31.99
Borders $34.99
BookStreet $35.99
BooksaMillion $39.99
BookBuyer $42.49
Amazon $42.49
Powells $49.99
Softpro $49.99
And no, I'm not affiliated with any of these stores or the authors of the above
site/PERL-script. I just use it a lot.
