FYI, to follow up on my previous reply, after showing my vendor several examples of list-price inflation on books, they claimed that it was due to a “glitch in the invoicing system” and that from now on I will be seeing ONLY the actual list price. Needless to say, once my credit balance with this vendor is gone, I will no longer use them. I don’t mind seeing slightly higher prices if a book is coming from a publisher that offers no discount to the vendor, but that wasn’t the case with any of the books in question.
