Did you notice how the Sage tutorial is appreciating in value, like quality antiques http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1438214197/ref=dp_olp_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1210078569&sr=8-1 $10.00 New $28.88 Used - very good $29.07 Used - like new That said, I once see a copy of Steven Wolfram's Mathematica 5 book (out of print now) on Amazon for #600 (about $900). Whether it actually sold at that price is another matter. I was tempted to stick my own copy on there! It's strange on Amazon. I've seen books advertised at $0.01, and many used books advertised at prices well in excess of the cost to buy a new copy - sometimes by more than $100. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
