Tempting, but $15 for a kindle version is a bit over the top.

That's paying higher price for earlier access. Wait three months and
it'll be down at $8.

I'll probably will pay for earlier access, since I'm currently in a
fortunate position with my disposable income levels and most of my ADF
books were second hand so I'm rather behind on getting cash into his
pocket.

The Kindle version shows up as $12.99 USD for me.

The hard cover is $21.15 (discounted from $27).

I thought "Then the U.S. is doing worse than
I knew" - and it is, but I think you still
have a better deal.

No VAT. Yet.

[Robert Carnegie]

You mean sales tax?

[Lynn McGuire]

Most of the states in the USA have sales tax. But there is no VAT tax
in the USA, yet. They are talking about adding a 10% import duty that
will be a VAT tax for all imports though.

[David DeLaney]

... a value-added tax tax?

I have referred to the teacher who took over our seventh grade, Mr R,
after Sr "I'm crazy now and have to go to the home" left us.

Message-ID: <1177237567.8...@l77g2000hsb.googlegroups.com>

This thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/rec.arts.sf.fandom/U5_88vV_n_s/6PJT6WUy8NUJ

Mr R taught us:

"Never put a tax on a tax
Or your mother gets the ax."

He illustrated this with a picture of an ax dripping blood, done
on the board in colored chalk.

He was encouraging us to use the pre-tax sub-total to figure
taxes charged as a per cent. For example, if the city tax is
1% and the state tax is 5%, each is charged against the same
sub-total.

Mr R was a trip, as we said in 1969.

Like they'd know what to do with an idea!

In Britain, "Fuel Duty" is a large slice of
the retail price of gasoline. Then "V A T"
is charged /on the duty/ - that is, on that
retail price. So, It's Been Done.

[Kevrob]

When I lived in Wisconsin, and my friends who drove
(I, at the time, had no car) took me on road trips to
Illinois, there was much cursing and gnashing of teeth
because the @#$%&?!! flatlanders in Springfield had the
retail sales tax on gasoline, in addition to the per-
gallon tax!

They still do it!

Even chiseling people in this way, they can't tame their budget.

Mind you, the solons in Hartford, CT are little better.

Will the tax amount be automatically keyed to the UPC code?
