Since they have a lock on the student market - that is students generally have to buy the books for their classes - the books just sell for list price. I can get a 10% discount if I buy 50 books, but by the time I pay to ship them the savings is lost over paying list price to Amazon.com and getting free shipping. So far at least even Amazon.com is offering no discount and they have a bit more leverage than I do :-) Anyway, if I do find out about a better deal, I will let you (and the other committers) know.
