Has anyone considered that the author MIGHT be losing money by selling his
book at $17? Think of the costs of keeping an inventory, maintaining a web
site, the time and hassle of shipping.  Could this be a labor of love?

With so many people perhaps "discovering" stereophotography on ebay, has
anyone with the NSA considered approaching members who sell online to place
links to the organzation on their sell pages, there are commonly links to
personal sites selling more merchandise, so this should be a possibility.

By the way, although I'm not personally interested in searching ebay, I'm
fairly familiar with it, being close to several "addicts" , my only thought
on EBAY is the familiar advice: buy low, sell high : )
