Re: Is it just me?

Better than pairing it with "Final Exit: The Practicalities of Self-Deliverance and Assisted Sucide for the Dying."

Hi all,

Perhaps I am just being too sensitive, but is it me or is the following a tad
crass? I was gathering ISBN numbers in order to order books for the coming
semester and so I went to Amazon to check for new editions. One of the books I
needed was Sylvia Plath's *The Bell Jar*. As most of you probably know,
often on their pages Amazon will offer bargain deals for book combos. For
instance, if you order *Crime and Punishment* together with *The Brothers Karamazov*
you get a discount on the price of both books.

So I call up the *Bell Jar* page, and scrolling down I find the following:

*********************************************

         Buy this book with Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel today!
            
Total List Price: $26.95
Buy Together Today: $21.56

*******************************************

Is it just me, or is this in slightly bad taste?

Just wondering,

--John
