[78-L] Books and Prices

[fnarf at comcast.net]

That Goodman book is a strange example. I think there must be a lot of people who just don't understand that you can buy books online from places other than Amazon. Since Amazon doesn't carry this book themselves, people assume it's out of print and rare. If only there was a big market for this, you could buy them from Fred Cohen and turn around and be the cheapest seller on Amazon and still make a huge profit. Someone should tell Mr. Cohen!

Recently on the List, I mentioned the Benny Goodman Carnegie Hall Jazz 
Concert book by Jon Hancock. The price from Fred Cohen’s Jazz Record 
Center in New York City is $39.95. The price from Amazon.com starts at 
just under $200 and goes up to $500.

Every so often, I check out Half Price Books in my city. Today, I 
bought a new copy of New Orleans 1960 by William Claxton and Joachim 
Berendt, published by Taschen. Price: $3.98. Many other art and 
photography books are as low as that, and most no higher than $19.98 
for something with an originally high cover price. They also carry 
jazz, blues, folk, and pop CDs at cut prices.
