Something to think about?
I saw the review today (at Chessbase) of the book "Joys of Chess" by Christian Hesse

(see: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=7775)


I wandered over to the CFC bookstore

http://astore.amazon.ca/chesfedeofcan-20/detail/9056913557

and although it is $35.54 (before tax) it says

"usually ships in 1 to 2 months" (!)


I decided to buy it from Strategy Games (thanks Larry!)
for $36.95 + $1.85HST AND free shipping (> $35).

In fact, I ordered it this morning and I have already received a Canada Post
tracking number and it is on the way!!

Something is seriously wrong with "1 to 2 months..."

You know - good, fast and cheap do not go together :D

Anyway, those 1-2months might be faster, as amazon.com have the book in stock.

My guess is that this is a typo or at the very least some sort of anomaly. I've had very good service when using this CFC-Amazon collaboration.
