Today I received my first book (Bug Patterns in Java) from the Amazon Marketplace (press the link where it says “X used and new”). I was surprised to receive it (in perfect condition) so quickly as the order was only placed six days ago. It’s amazing what deals you can find on the web, with the cost of shipping (US$9.79) outweighing the cost of the book (US$8.85), all in the process of still saving US$14.22 off the Amazon US$23.07 list price! Awesome value.
