I called them up, but since I didn't have a credit card (poor student
who has yet to apply for on) they told me to write in my request for
the books at $199.95 plus four something dollars for shipping.  I
don't know why the base price is different, or why the shipping is
lower though........

I'm not complainaing though.  I mean, It's a discount price on books
which are almost too good to be true!
