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

[Gregory Lypny]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to confirm that the cost of Mr. Shafer's book, "Revolution: 
Software at the Speed of Thought", offered through Runtime's web site, 
is in fact US $97.  If this is correct, it seems exorbitant considering 
that most computer self-help books in hard copy typically sell for not 
more than $25 here in the land of maple syrup, hockey and Blue Rodeo.  
Not to denigrate Mr. Shafer's good work, as I owned his older books on 
HyperCard and AppleScript, but it seems that a six-fold increase in 
price for something that is available only in an electronic version is 
pushing it.
