I'm an editor at Amazon.com Books (and I'm reveiwing M&D for the site).  
The $30 dollar list price on the site is a mistake - it should read 
$27.50 (and will very soon) plus a 40% discount, so we'll be selling it 
for $16.50.  The shipping charge is $3 an order plus 95 cents a book - 
$3.95 for one book, but if you buy two (or any of his others) the total 
shipping charge would be $3 plus $1.80.  Still competitive with B&N, and 
very convenient (not everyone lives by a B&N.)  We'll be able to ship the 
book the day of publication (April 30) and, depending on the shipment 
method you choose, it should get there in a couple of days.  You can 
order it now.

We'll have an extensive review and feature posted the 27th.  You can 
already check out a synopsis, a cover, and post your own musings on M&D.
