ME TOO ! In fact I received an offer from the publishers to buy it wholesale for inclusion on my webstore. Then a few days later I get the message from Amazon offering it for way below the wholesale cost I was offered. WOW ! Are they all nuts or what ? AND, yes I have seen it. A friend of mine has a copy she got off the Internet somewhere for like $40 ! YIKES and double YIKES ! It is a cool book with lots of very good bus photos and the recipes are pretty good - looking - anyways ! AND......don't be worried Amazon KNOWS what their up to targeting buyers. Big Daddy is here and everywhere, there's no escaping it anymore, lay down your arms now ! If you have ever written and posted anything on the Internet then it's easy for them to find you !

>>>>>This is so sad. The fact that Amazon would email this link to me means that my Westy obsession is not only out of control, but that it has become openly known to the public to the point I am getting targeted solicitations from even the most impersonal retail giants. Has anyone else gotten such an offer recently? How do they know?

Has anyone actually looked at this cookbook?>>>>>>>
