Hello,
In case you haven't heard yet, amazon.ca is selling "Lisp In Small Pieces" for $3.95.
It seems to me the price must be an error, but apparently it has been like this since at least July 23, see http://xach.livejournal.com/133661.html.
Best Regards,
Victor Rodriguez.

I ordered my copy from Amazon last week and today they sent me an email today refusing to fulfill the order as the item was incorrectly priced. Amazon gave me a 10 $ voucher for my trouble probably by the erlang book with it. Did anyone actually get the book ?

I have this book and I probably paid that very price. It's a really good book, you won't regret it. Of course, since the price just took a 20 fold leap, I would understand if you prefer to put it in your wish list and wait a bit. I just want to assure you that the book, even at that price, is worth it.
abebooks.com has it for $43.00.

If we get Marc Feeley to require it for his next compiler theory course but not require it for the other semester after that, then we will have several new copies at 75% OFF at the bookstore of central pavilion of UdeM.

I got the same kind of message with the same gift certificate (but I had only ordered Lisp in Small Pieces). This was my first and very likely last experience with amazon.

They have put the book in the "Best Sellers" category, so obviously they considered those books as being already sold. So, they actually sold them to us at 3.95$ and failed to fulfill the order.
Ebay Canada seems to be located in Toronto, ON, and Burnaby, BC. The consumer protection laws that we know surely don't apply (lots of them are QC-only, right?). Are there any consumer protection laws that could actually be applied in this case? (provincial or federal).
Or perhaps is the 10$ voucher given in compliance to those laws. Does everybody in Canada actually get the 10$ voucher? I order that from a amazon.co.uk account with a billing address outside of Canada, or perhaps just because they are manually processing this particular mess and aren't quite done with it yet.
