- Hi Folks:
-
- Just wanted to bitch about something. I called McGraw-Hill about
- buying the following book:
-
- Real and Complex Analysis By W. Rudin
-
- Guess what! the book costs $60.00. Some people informed me that the
- same book in Europe and Asia is available as a paperback and for a
- lot less money. McGraw-Hill informed me that they don't have this
- book in paperback. These price guaging tactics has pissed me off
- (not that I can do anything about it). Just wanted to bitch about
- it.
-
- Does anybody know how to order from the European or Asian counterpart
- of McGraw-Hill.
-
- One more thing if you have an old copy (third edition) of the book
- and are willing to part with it, send me e-mail.
