It is also advertized at lots of other prices, starting at 12.15 and all the way up to 62.98 on half.com. Assuming you got the copy for 12.15, shipping puts it well over amazon's price of 14.02 with free shipping (if the total order is over $25). I think you have to compare prices, but often Amazon is better, and I have consistently had extremely good customer service from them.
