Well, here in the U.K. they are appearing back on the shelves in the
good bookstores after a long absence, and still at full price. I
really hope your bookstore has misread Python's direction and not
mine!

I don't think you've misread Python's direction.

This bookstore is not normal bookstore. I don't know what there
sources are, but all of their books are 75% off minimally and none
over $4.99 regardless of original price.

I would suspect the average consumer in this bookstore has never heard
of Python so they end up on the 99 cent shelf simply because they
aren't moving.

Most of their computer books aren't worth buying.
"Using Netscape 1.0", etc.... :)

However, IPwP has maintained it's value much better than most computer
books. :)
