Amazon ups and downs

The good news from Amazon is that the new boxed sets of The Complete Peanuts 1983-1986 can now be ordered; whatever problem was keeping them from releasing sets has obviously been cleared.

The bad news is that it looks like one of Amazon’s standard discounts has gone away. Until recently, the pages for most books with a cover price under $10 included the announcement of their “4-for-3” discount… buy any four of these books, and just pay for the most expensive three. Now, I cannot find that on any book listing. It was handy at times when ordering the smaller books.
