I Can Get It For You Wholesale

I was looking at amazon's page for Web Design in a Nutshell today, and noted that they aren't offering a discount on the book. Unusual for an O'Reilly title, but it happens, right? Then I notice that Amazon says it's a "bargain book," and following the link for more info about "bargain" books, I read:

Bargain books are top-quality publishers' overstocks that we purchase in large quantities then in turn pass the savings on to our customers.

I guess they didn't save very much.
