And unfortunately, they will probably immediately put it in their "old
book/obsolete book sale" and it will be sold for $5 or less. This book
is NOT worth $150. Pawprint marks all their books up way too much.
They also want outrageous prices for copies of Shipman. I've read "OM
Way". It is a great book, but since it was last revised in 1979, it
doesn't cover any of the newer OM system. A newer copy of Shipman would
be better in this regard.
