OOP in Python book?

[Bill]

Does anyone out there have any information about this book. It's
listed on Amazon to be published in November of this year. A simple
Google search (1st page only) doesn't show anything useful, and I
can't find a reference on the web sites of the authors. Neither of the
authors appears to be heavily into OOP theory, just some CS areas that
I don't understand.

I'm particularly interested in why this book is worth the $100 tag
that Amazon shows.

TIA,

Bill

Well, the publisher is Prentice Hall, "The world's leading
educational publisher". Textbooks are typically expensive.

Here's the Amazon link:

Yeah... But at that price it should have hard-covers!

Should have, but look at this popular Cultural Anthropology text
(paperback): <http://tinyurl.com/38ec5s>. List price is $120.95 USD.
(BTW I just bought the 6th edition online for about $10.)

Then there's Calculus: Single Variable (Paperback)
<http://tinyurl.com/2lqw9c> List price $123.95 USD.

And so it goes.

Balme your professors. They are not paying for the books. Of course most
will be give a lot of lip-service to educational access for
disadvantaged groups but thier choice of books usually suggests
otherwise. The high price of textbooks and the tendency for professors
to overlook alternatives is helping to keep the rich educated and the
poor, well, poor.

Though like the music industry the book publishing trade is having to
come to terms with the fact that they no longer have the same monopoly
on information that they used to.
