Chapters is selling the JACT New Testament Reader for 1/3 off right now. I believe I paid $21.66 CAD which works out to about $13.70USD -- almost $10 less than Amazon. I bought several books (>$39CAD) and I didn't have to pay shipping. The Canadian dollar is so low compared the American dollar that it may work out nicely for American buyers. The link is:
