On the Cost of "Revolution: Software at the Speed of Thought"

[Judy Perry]

Greg,

While I'm not happy that I've paid $97 for an additional two volumes that
it's not clear when I'm going to see them, still, it should be noted that
it's $97 for THREE books/volumes, which gets us back close to that $25
figure you quoted.
