*The Canadian dollar is at a 30 year high, but Canadian booksellers still charge the 'Canadian' price on the cover -- often 30% or more over the US price, plus the %15 or so sales tax.  I've come to the conclusion that buying books here is for chumps, so I'm stocking up whenever I cross the border.
