This is from Amazon's web site. The instock issue indicates a desire to liquidate inventory. I find this so odd because the model back in 1998 was Amazon was to carry no inventory? Now one receives a shipping discount for buying "in stock" items. Get your hands on the latest bestsellers and more with a great offer in our bookstore. Look for books that are in stock and listed as "Usually ships in 24 hours" (see illustration at right). Order at least five in-stock titles and you'll pay for shipping on only one of them. Ordering seven books? You'll save $6.93. Ten books? Slash your shipping charges by a cool $9.90. Hurry! This offer is available for a limited time only, and we don't want you to miss out.
