Powell's is in bed with them. Order many a new book and it will come in an Amazon box, sub sourced. Just FYI. 

Whaddya think of B & N? Now struggling as they prepare to die slowly. 

will any indie store pay shipping if you have to pay full price? 

Some publishers slowly---Amazon has threatened them for over a decade---are building a direct shipping operation.
