Gee I'm glad to see that there are at least a few people on the net
who aren't so yuppily affluent that they can ignore an 18% price
increase in a period of disinflation.  Yes, I think that the most
effective tactic is to 
1) not buy at the higher rate and
2) be sure that the retailers notice the fact.
I'm pretty sure that the retailers will keep the publishers informed.
Now, if the publishers don't give a damn, then we
re all in even worse trouble than I think we are...
Used book stores seem to be dying out in this area, but they still
exist and it seems to me that sf is their second biggest commodity,
after romances (of course).  Why "of course," Grantges? Well, if you
don't know by now, Richard, I"m afraid you'll never learn, but, just
as a hint, hard core stuff is mostly illegal 'round here.
