I guess they are having trouble catching up, as suggested.  Borders has it
listed twice: once as $39.99 (status = "Not yet published") and once as
$34.99
($15 off the cover price, ships in 24 hours).  But they don't list an author
on
either version!  The "low bidder" (vcss.com) has altered their price from
$29.99
to $37.99 since this morning.
