With a long wait over, I'm afraid that I have some bad news.
There is indeed an Educational Discound (ED), but it with
store markup, my bookstore cannot beat the mail order price
unless more than 30 (or was it 35) packages are ordered.

The guy was just looking at the paper work as I watched 
from my accross the desk vantage point. (Reading upside
down is a pain)  The breakdown seemed to be a 20% discount
if 9 to 29 copies are ordered.  30% ED if 30+.  There were
about 3 more catagories, but I was not quik enough to read
them.  

Therefore, unless you can get several people from a club
or something, I think that the $99 is about the best deal 
you can get.  Since I'm not yet at a point where I can
justify Coherent, I'm not the person to rally behind at
this point.   

Possibly someone with university connections could volunteer
to be a collecting point for a group order?

sorry to get any hopes up,
