Maybe so! But B& N has such a poor search engine that sometimes, even if one
knows they have the book one wants, it is almost impossible to find it. At
first I would put in the title and if nothing came up assumed they did not
have the book. That is a mistake with them. One has to go at it from every
angle and some times one can scare the book out. Also they do not allow
searches with ISBN # and that makes it harder. I wish B & H would buy CBD's
search engine and use it. They otherwise are a fine company to deal with.
By the way B & H wants $62.32 for the two volumes. And CBD only wants
$59.99. Not much difference but almost pays the shipping and handling.
