After much cajoling and screaming, I got Prentice Hall to drop the US price
of this book to about $45.00 retail. It's still too high, but it is comparable
to other hardcover data structures books (at least I think so).

I have had no success so far with the overseas prices. The Aussie price is
SCANDALOUS. If anyone can send me price comparsons of my book, either here
in the US or overseas, showing that mine is relatively overpriced, I can
use it as ammunition in my next battle with PH. Can anyone help?
