If you purchased the book, what did you pay for it?

I bought one for my son at Walmart last evening for 17.88.

The inside cover price was a lot more!

Given your tagline, should you have been shopping at WalMart? :-)

Seriously though, i haven't read this or any of the Potter books yet. Other than reading Narnia and Star Wars books to my kids, I've been fiction free (unintentionally) for about 3 years.

I read that a lot of smaller "mom & pop" book stores aren't bothering to carry Deathly Hollows, because they simply can't compete on price due to the volume. I read that Amazon.com pre-sold more than 1.6 million copies, and every major national book seller was selling them for about that price... About 40% or more off.
