Dear All At GSA last week several of you from North America moaned about the very high price ($60)that is charged for my "Introduction to Metamorphic Petrology". I checked with my publisher and they tell me that their North American office has set a recommended retail price of $40. Many of you I know will feel that this in itself is grossly excessive for my outdated words of not-always-wisdom, but it is clear that some bookstores are adding a very large mark up. I had no idea that the market was quite such a jungle out there, but it seems clear that it may be worth shopping around for good prices on text books.
