I’m sure there are quite a few more factors in determining prices than I am aware, but come on. $10 more to buy the exact same book, with the same isbn, when the difference between the Canadian and US dollars differ by LESS THAN A CENT??
It seems these prices are appropriate for a couple of years ago, not today.
Why are we paying so much more?
