Your absolutely right. You can get it cheaper through amazon or ecampus or whatever. But there is another issue at hand here. When you buy the book through Rebol Press you are directly supporting Rebol. This is a give a little get a lot situation. We've all gotten a lot from Rebol now it's time to give back. Lets face it Rebol has given our little community a wealth of support, to say nothing of Rebol itself. They have never asked for a thing in return. This is a chance for us to give back. Personally I don't think "$13.60" is to much to ask for.
