pricing at Amazon

I have been troubled lately to find some of my books on Amazon selling for more than the suggested retail price. So instead of buying from Amazon, please go to LeeValley.com. There you will find "Wisdom of Our Hands: Crafting, A Life" and two earlier books, "Making Classic Toys that Teach" and "The Guide to Woodworking with Kids." All are priced below suggested retail price.

If you are interested in "the Box Maker's Guitar Book," you'll find it on Amazon for $50.00 or on BN.com for the suggested retail price of half the current Amazon price. It appears that Amazon has a very weird computer controlled pricing algorithm that may be screwing folks if they're not watchful. They are also screwing authors by inflating the price of our books and deterring sales.

In the shop I'm experimenting with a different top on the torsion tables. The top shown is curly maple.

Make, fix and create.

    re: Box Maker's Guitar Book -- all listings are for 3rd party sellers, not direct from Amazon. Which indicates there is no Amazon controlled stock in the warehouses. Your $50 seller is "America's Best Books" which shows as "just launched" and has a business address in Calgary, AB, Canada.
