Helpful email from Amazon

We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated "Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics)" by Emily Brontë have also purchased "The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection: More than 1000 of the Greatest Classics". For this reason, you might like to know that "The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection: More than 1000 of the Greatest Classics" is now available. You can order yours for just $7,989.50 ($5,423.80 off the list price) by following the link below.

(Boldface mine.)

Um...maybe some other time, thanks.

(In other news: it snowed! And it's very cold. But pretty.)

I'll bet they're moving lots of that one in this economic climate.

Amazon is always being helpful. Anything I even look at (much less buy) they'll be there trying to be helpful.

Still Amazon is the only place I really shop at for books or cds. Some electronics too. They try to be helpful, but the public loves it. One of the few dot coms that made it.

Lots of great books at less than 8 bucks each? Great deal.
Having to buy 1000 in one batch? Er, not so good.

Sigh.

I wonder how many of them have decent Gutenberg copies...

Woah! I'd pass, too. ;-)

A little light reading, eh?

Yikes. Even if I could afford them, I wouldn't have the shelf space for them.

Buy ten sets, and save more than $54,000! You can get rich that way!

Or maybe there's a flaw I haven't spotted yet.

Um...

Is it just me, or does the statement that "customers who have purchased or rated 'Wuthering Heights' ... have ALSO [emphasis mine] purchased 'The Penguin Classics Library Complete Collection: More than 1000 of the Greatest Classics' suggest that said collection does not, in fact, include "Wuthering Heights"? And if that is the case, just what the hell is in that collection?
