I just clicked on Amazon’s ‘add to my shopping cart’ and got told that four books had changed price.  Usually they have gone up.  Or that’s been my experience.  But things are a-changing as you can see from the excerpt below.  Is this deflation, increasing copying, competition from free content on the net.  Who knows.  But it - and the fact that some of the prices are such odd numbers - are perhaps signs of the times.
