i guess my real point is that if they have to charge $100 because they're
not actually in the book business, and because the distribution is really
quite expensive, then they're using the wrong distribution mechanism.  on
the other hand, if the book _doesn't_ cost them anything like $100, then
they're ripping us off.  i haven't bought the book yet, and won't, until
i'm positive i need it.  and i'm someone who would have said he'd _always_
own the service manual for his bike.  so they've lost at least one
sale due to their pricing.
