You're biased.

Virtually no $70.00 paperback is "fairly priced." The information is uniquely valuable, but so is the information in a great many reasonably priced paperbacks.

And I did not deal with Jason or anyone; maybe that's why you get favorable treatment and online store customers get the scrap. I purchased it online and paid through PayPal to make it quick, safe and easy. The lack of professionalism was in the shoddy packing and shipping of the product, and possibly the sending of a used book to a customer paying full price for an exorbitantly priced new book. Either way, it was thrashed when I first touched it.

Fairly priced. What would a new hardcover version cost: $150.00?

Kevin, if you're so unhappy, make a phone call and ask for a new one.

I consider this an umpiring text book. The same sort of book you'd get if you went to attend these classes.

Its no different than if you were interested in religion and wanted to get a religion 101 textbook in leiu or to supplement a class. And those text books, yes, in their paperback format, run you about the same as this Evans book.

Jim just isn't selling a book here, he's selling his umpire knowledge and training system. No different than if you wanted to buy a scholar's knowledge on any other subject in acadamia...!
