Oh, well! I DO think the book needs to be available to everyone, and if the smaller bookstores can't afford to stock the book at the discounted price, then perhaps they shouldn't be carrying it and leave it to the big retailers to market, in this case. They are probably better off, because no one is going to pay their prices for the book when it's so easy to get from the big chains like Barnes and Noble and Wal-Mart.
