[RndTbl] Book Apart order

[Trevor Cordes]

I'm going to make an order for some (print) books from publisher A Book 
Apart (USA-based) and wondering if anyone wants to go in on the order with 
me.  If I can get 3-5 more books in the order I can save more money 
(bigger discount) plus split the shipping/brokerage over more books.  
Win/win if someone else wanted one of these books in print.

A Book Apart just joined O'Reilly for Safari/ebooks (but not print) and 
they seem to produce excellent products.  They seem heavily slanted 
towards web design (i.e. less programming) yet look interesting/useful 
enough for a typical do-it-all web site programmer.  Their schtick is to 
make books that are short and concise (100-150 pages usually).

If I can reach the 10 book mark it's roughly $13.75(ca$) a print book 
(normally $18us), plus shipping (should be only a few bucks a book), plus 
USPS/CP duties/taxes (should be under $2 a book).  So I'm guessing 
$17.50-ish a book (just a guess).  You pay actual costs divided by the 
book count, no markup.

Here's their catalog, with good writeups and a sample chapter for each:

The ones that look most useful to me are Web Typography and Respnosible 
Web Design.  It's extremely odd, but almost none of these books show up on 
Amazon/Indigo.  I guess they are a really new company trying to break into 
the mainstream.  (I'm in no way affiliated with them.)
