Well, you can get books on Amazon for a penney. The shipping is 3.99, so the price is not really a penney. It is four dollars. That is how I figure it. I don't worry about whether the shipping is too high. I just figure it together with the price of the book and then consider the sum the price of the book. After all, that is what you are paying. If the total price is too high then it is too high and it does not matter what proportion of that price is the shipping charge.

I suspect Abebooks is like Amazon--you pay the shipping for EACH item. I doubt they combine shipping like a regular online store would do (well some do, some don't). I probably wouldn't pay a total of almost $10 for a book unless it was brand new and I knew my library would never get it. Depends upon how bad someone wants to read this book I guess.
