O, Canada!: September 2007 Archives

Why books cost so much

A package delivered to my desk this morning turns out to contain a $23.95 book titled "Who Named the Knife," a true crime story, sent to me here at (according to the address label) the "Ontario Daily Bulletin" by Random House. Why would Random House think your mild-mannered columnist would be interested in a book subtitled "A Book of Murder and Memory"? The best clue is in the jacket flap, which says the author is a resident of Toronto. Which is in Ontario, Canada. Can Random House think my address of "Ontario, CA" means the author and I are practically neighbors?
