The full review was much more interesting and positive so I have grabbed
a Kindle copy.
There were a couple of free books with the same name and several more at
varying prices with the Williams at $7.18c. The next book of the same
name by a different author was $7.14c. These exact prices can have no
basis in logic. Is someone calculating the price sensitivity subject to
demand or is someone just throwing darts?
