it's just that 'media mail' rate....it costs amazon anywhere from 1.33 to probably 4 bucks depending on the size of the book(but they surely got volume discounts with the postal dude)....It was the old 'bulk rate' mail option...but you had to certify it was a book...and you had to know there was a decent chance it was going to be bruised in the shipping process....takes 7 to 10 days to ship a book that way...i think now you can probably send CD's...and stuff...cause they changed the name to 'media mail'....anyway...that's my story and i stickin' to it.... :)
