I second this thought.  I almost never purchase books at list price.  I
usually patronize a local chain called Crown Books.  Their motto is *If you
paid full price, you didn't buy it at Crown Books*.  I am not entirely sure
that buying books only at discount prices has any effect on publishers, but
I save money, and I support a business whose pricing policy I agree with.
