Hi, Bill.

This is reminiscent of when I bought a brand new ARRL Handbook for Radio
Amateurs at Bookmaster a year or two ago.  Word had spread via the Internet
that the Handbook was on sale for $8.  The price tag was still the original
shelf price.  You had to tell the counter clerk it was on sale--he then
looked it up on their computer system and found, yes, indeed, it was on
sale.

Apparently, Bookmaster/Barnes&Noble puts selected books on sale at selected
and various stores.  The stores don't always get the word and/or they don't
get marked as being on sale.

I've made it a point to ask the clerk to check their network system if the
book I'm wanting to buy is on sale. (don't take their word for it; have them
check their computer system)
