Hello Karen and everyone For the exercise, I looked up your title at amazon-dot-ca to find one listed Used - Like New $24.51 with this comment: "Book is in Fantastic Condition. Contains remainder mark on bottom outside edge. Some Shelf Wear. Prompt Service!" Sure. POD and it is remaindered.Further, I could buy a new copy from a listing claiming to be in Florida for $77-something (shipping $6.49 extra). Hmmm! much smarter to order from Amazon's own listing. Thanks for explaining it is a print-on-demand, as that also explains the 1 - 2 month shipping time. Free shipping too, if I buy 32 cents' worth or more Amazon 'stuff' to bring the tally to $25 or more. A shame I cannot tat any more - the book looks good!
