Product details inquiry from Amazon customer stejfazi@aol.com
Stephanie,
Thanks for writing.
For years, we here at the Logical Language Group did not sell our book
through Amazon.com, but only through our official website, lojban.org.
It came to our attention that many individuals purchased it through us
and resold it on Amazon, where they radically raised the price. This
worked because far more people find the book on Amazon than on our
site, and don't know the price for which we offer it. Eventually we
got an Amazon.com seller account, and arranged for me to be the one
fulfilling orders so that we could meet the quick shipping turnaround
that Amazon demands. We kept the book at the price for which we have
always offered it.
The book they are selling is almost certainly the same book, but we
are the organization that created it. The other sellers are
for-profit, and we are an official tax-exempt nonprofit, so we will
not raise our price to match theirs. Thanks again for your inquiry,
and let us know if there is any other way we can help you.
Sincerely,
Matt Arnold
President, Board of Directors
Logical Language Group
