I&#8217;m happy about this, as it makes the book cheaper than the second edition, which wasn&#8217;t discounted at all by Amazon until recent years. The weird bit is that this discount was available a few weeks back, then was gone when I checked last weekend. Someone let me know today that it&#8217;s back, and I just ordered an extra copy (this discount is higher than my author&#8217;s discount at AK Peters). I&#8217;ve noticed a strong correlation between the discount&#8217;s availability and the humidity in Flagstaff multiplied by the average hourly meteor siting rate in Anchorage.
