Many of my friends who wanted to purchase it said they would not because it was overpriced. Without discussing it with each other before speaking to me, they have mostly agreed that about $30 was the most they were willing to pay for a book about this language. So long as we still have the existing CLLs, and are still pricing it at $39, we'll never move on to where we can get those customers to buy the paperback second edition. However, if we do this, I need another shipment of the books. -Matt On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 4:44 PM, Robin Lee Powell wrote: > > My gf suggests that we should lower the price on the CLL and try to > dump the things.  Once the BPFK is done, they'll be worthless > anyways; might as well move to LS sooner rather than later. > > -Robin > > -- > They say:  "The first AIs will be built by the military as weapons." > And I'm  thinking:  "Does it even occur to you to try for something > other  than  the default  outcome?"  See http://shrunklink.com/cdiz > http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ >
