  14. |   In particular, they will sell a cheap paperback edition only outside
  15. |   North America, while insisting that North American customers buy the
  16. |   hardcover edition at a much higher price.

  18. Tell you what, those hardcover books that you think are so expensive
  19. cost us Europeans twice as much.  _That's_ why we get those "cheap"
  20. paperbacks which only cost about as much as your hardcopy, i.e. _half_
  21. the price -- a bargain!
