Well, Bayou Trilogy is $15.61 at Barnes and Noble, and $11.55 at Amazon, so, that was half the bill right there.
This guy thought $32.00 was too much for that plus four or five more books at an Independent Bookseller’s Shop?
I think the idea is he knew they were purposely undercharging him.
Did he ask the store clerk:
“At some point, haven’t you made enough money?”
