Ah, Guess I have to break the news... Independent book sellers have new 2011 ACG books on sale at Amazon for less than $12.00....repeat new, i.e all coupons intact. So where do those other rediculous prices come from that Frank was talking about...there is always some jerk putting stuff up on Amazon at ridiculous prices, which is their right. It's called free enterprise. Reminds me of the guy selling a copy of Three card poker, by Stanley Ho, for $300, some time back. Yup- ridiculous!!

I pretty much use Amazon for everything. I can't imagine why you would think
someone couldn't resell your book. I further can't imagine why anyone would
sign with a publisher that doesn't distribute to Amazon. I still further
can't imagine why any publisher wouldn't distribute to Amazon.

Someone is selling new and used copies of my book on amazon.com for $180 new
and $179.99 used. Since my book only costs $29.42 NEW, this is causing some
confusion. My book is not even supposed to be on Amazon.
I have spoken with them, and they are committed to doing nothing. It is
their policy that anyone can resell a book for any price, even used, at more
than cover.
If I were all of you, I'd think about adding this to my reasons for never
using Amazon for anything. Of course I'm not you, but I thought you'd all
like to know about this.
The correct places to get my book NEW are:
1. www.progressivevp.com
2. Huntington Press http://www.huntingtonpress.com/ 3. The Gamblers Book
Store
Price = $29.42
And I also have used copies available, for those of you that like more
decimal places, at: $294.29
Sincerely,
~FK
