[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The book fair always seemed like a ripoff. I imagine if the school charges $8/book they might get 10% of that. I'd rather give $8 to the PTA and not buy overpriced books from Scholastic.[/quote]

Just curious, in my experience Scholastic books are cheaper than B&n for example. Why do you call them overpriced?[/quote]

Because the ones that I compared to Amazon ran about 20% higher, but it's not like I did an exhaustive comparison.[/quote]

And that's why Amazon is killing off small bookstores and other businesses and forming a monopoly on every industry in this country...

Same PP here - didn't finish my thought. Book fair prices will also be higher than Amazon because it is a fundraiser. You pay a bit more so that the school can get some money back. How much does your school get when you buy your books from Amazon??? (0.5% is what the Amazon Smile program donates if you designate a charity every time you check out).[/quote]
