[Tutor] Bookpool sale on Addison Wesley

[Sean Azelton]

Thanks Kent.

Can anyone tell me why the below book is listed as SOOOO expensive? 
With the sale Kent mentioned, it looks like a great deal - but 
unfortunately I don't really know anything about the authors.

Object-Oriented Programming in Python
Michael H Goldwasser, David Letscher
Prentice Hall
List Price: $102.00
Our Price: $55.95
You Save: $46.05 (45% Off)

Estimated Publication Date November 2007, 700 pages, ISBN 0136150314

Is this a good buy?

Thanks,

Sean Azelton
University of Notre Dame
