I just called 1-800-228-0810 and the lady that answered said the book is
$70.95. I do not know why they have changed this price and yes it is
ridiculous that if they are going to destroy the books that they do not sell
them for a small amount. They seem to be angry that they are losing so much
money on the  book but said before they reduce the price they will destroy
them. This same thing happened with CERF and they threw all the Ecphora
books in a dumpster.
This does sound like a rip off but I guarantee they will destroy the books
and I do not like the business tactics of raising the prices and seems like
they are doing it just to say "let's get even" because the books were not
sold.
Sorry about all this and wish I had not tried to pass this info on, but if
you want the book this is your only choice as Dick Petite does not and will
not have the book.
