Learning Perl 3rd Edition :
   Direct from O'Reilly = $34.95 - (20% User Group Discount) = $ 27.96
   From Amazon = $ 24.47
   From Barnes & Noble = $ 27.96 (is this a coincidence?)

Perl Cookbook
   Direct from O'Reilly = $ 39.95 -(20% User Group Discount) = $ 31.96
   From Amazon = $ 27.97
   From Barnes and Noble = $ 39.95

Shipping prices for this order :
   O'Reilly = $ 6.10
   Amazon = $ 0 (qualifies for Free Super Saver Shipping)
   Barnes and Noble = $ 0 (2 items or more w/ ground, U.S.)

Totals (w/ ground shipping):
   O'Reilly = $ 66.02
   Amazon = $ 52.44
   Barnes and Noble = $67.91

Amazon is $63.41 with 2nd day Air shipping, still the cheapest. But they tried 
to patent that damn 1-click thingy a while back.

What to do ?
