Re: [Tutor] Bookpool sale on Addison Wesley
Oh - I didn't mean Bookpool was too expensive - they are almost half the price of Amazon on this book. for clarification - I was wondering why the "Object-Oriented Programming in Python" book lists for $102.00 US when most books list for half that price.

Re: [Tutor] Bookpool sale on Addison Wesley
Yes - collegiate text book does make sense. I certainly do remember how expensive mine were! For my part I think I'll stick with your book Wesley, and Mark Lutz's book (since I already have that one). Thanks!
