Tag what's up with the Amazon.com link here? I used to go in there and get a book for about the same price as Barnes and Nobles. I go in there NOW to pick up a new Birnbaums and new minimum cost is $26 and they go up to $35. I can mail order from Barnes and Noble the same book for $11.86. The way the Amazon site is set up they don't seem to have their own shop any more for books. As much as I want to help support Tagnation. I'm not going to pay a price like this.

Thanks for supporting the site Andy, but I'd never expect people to pay extra on Amazon! The link through the site has always brought the same pricing as just surfing to Amazon - there should be no difference just because you link from here.
So I checked it out...
I just used the search from here, and I see what happened.
Amazon is currently out of stock on this book. You clicked on the NEW pricing which brings up the Marketplace people selling this book for immediate shipment. THEY can sell for whatever they want to - and its fairly ridiculous!
If you go here: Birnbaum's Walt Disney World 2004
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0786854138/ref=sib_dp_pt/002-4674306-0343209#reader-link) You'll see that the book is $11.87, but currently out of stock.
So, please don't think that shopping from the site increases your price. That should NEVER happen - and if it does, please let me know.
Thanks!
