    I have not been successful in getting discounts in the past as this
    book is put out through the textbook side of Addison-Wesley. Since
    they have a lock on the student market - that is students generally
    have to buy the books for their classes - the books just sell for
    list price. I can get a 10% discount if I buy 50 books, but by the
    time I pay to ship them the savings is lost over paying list price
    to Amazon.com and getting free shipping. So far at least even
    Amazon.com is offering no discount and they have a bit more leverage
    than I do :-) Anyway, if I do find out about a better deal, I will
    let you (and the other committers) know.
