Yes, I see that when I put together an order, too. But if I put together a standard order, without the coupon, the price is exactly what a regular-paper book would be. Mark says that he hasn't made a premium paper version available, so I assume the usual price ($49.99 or so for a hardcover image-wrap) is a regular-paper book. Putting in that coupon gets a discount off the total price ($49.99 for a book, plus the appropriate extras for tax and shipping). If there were a premium paper version (which would be more expensive than the regular-paper version) then this discount coupon would bring the price back down to the price of the normal version; it wouldn't make it several dollars cheaper than the regular-paper version. That's why I don't believe you'll end up with a premium-paper version by specifying this coupon. You will save a few dollars off the price, though. But that's not what I'm looking for; I want premium paper. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
