Go to abebooks.com. Often the same sellers sell the exact same books there but with 2.50 shipping instead of 3.99. I almost never shop at amazon anymore for the simple reason that their used book base shipping rate is too high. But that's me; I'm addicted to used books.

I'm right there with you. I find the psychological race-to-the-bottom fascinating: a book at $4 is not nearly worth it when it could cost $2.50.
