Timing is everything...  ;-)

Mark, given that Amazon does not appear to be offering any discount over 
what Springer is charging directly, why not just order from the publisher?

http://www.springer.com/statistics/computational/book/978-0-387-75935-7

They don't appear to be in a back order mode, at least at the moment and 
you can leverage the R book discount from them:

That reduces the price to $63.96.

HTH,
