Is amazon just jacking up the price for some reason [...] These are the same books. What happened is that some years ago, Amazon decided that it would no longer deal with small-time publishers, such as us. So, for a long time it was completely unavailable from Amazon. Since then, Amazon has started a program in which private persons and companies can offer used books for sale mediated by Amazon. These sellers are, as you have seen, charging exorbitant prices. Perhaps in the assumption that it's out of print. Which it's not; the LLG still has plenty of copies left. The LLG is currently discussing how to get a better presence on Amazon (perhaps by distributing CLLs to members who can then sell them on Amazon). We are also discussing ways to get shorter turn-around times in order fullfilment. -- Arnt Richard Johansen http://arj.nvg.org/ Assumption is the mother of all screw-ups. (Wethern's Law)
