5.0 out of 5 stars
How about a discount?, November 27, 2007
This review is from: Making Threats: Biofears and Environmental Anxieties (Paperback)
Rowman & Littlefield titles are not discounted by Amazon. Why? Are they an academic press? So I went to the university library and got a copy there to check it out. It's excellent material; consistently good from essay to essay. On that basis I would buy the book for future reference if it weren't so darn expensive. I know Rowman & Littlefield ain't paying huge royalties to the editors who in any case draw their principal income from the university. So why does the consumer get stuck with paying the premium for an anthology such as this? C'mon trade books are discounted; why not books such as this one? Again, with the usual Amazon discount I would have bought this book straight away and not even have bothered with the library edition. I spend thousands of dollars a year on books, CDs, and other media; it's part of my job. But please give us a break on the price.
