            <p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
            <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
