<p>Hello listserv members. I just released the second edition of <i>Oppedahl on PCT Forms and PCT Docketing</i>. Like the original edition, it is priced at $89 and I earn a royalty of about $48 per book. But what I don’t understand is that Amazon has placed
this book on sale for about $21. Yes, it looks like if you order this book right now, you will only have to pay about $21 to Amazon, and they will pay me about $48, and you will receive a copy of this book. I am baffled by Amazon’s pricing decision. See
