huh? :)

TLC reported, it's funny that none of these articles commenting on 
how "expensive" OotP will be ($29.99) aren't mentioning that the 
price is being compared to books 1/2 its size!  Or less!  Compare it 
to a picture book, say "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie."  Hardcover 
$15.99 and it's, what, 24 pages?  32 at most.  Or an early chapter 
book, Junie B. First Grader, "Toothless Wonder."  I read all the 
Junie B. books to my first graders, 80-90 pages I'd guess.  $11.95.  
That's 13 cents a page.  Order of the Phoenix?  3 cents a page.  What 
a bargain! :)

Ok, I'll come out of lurkdom for just a second. You can preorder OOP 
from WalMart.com for $17.97. Even with shipping, it is still cheaper 
than buying it for $30.
