Granted, I should have looked a little deeper and at the end of the day it is my fault, but I've read more than 500 books and it's easy to forget a title from a decade ago. I do mind how publishers are playing with publish dates on iBooks to confuse readers as to how new or current the book is. Now I don't mind the seven bucks so much and I don't really mind throwing James a little extra cash. Once I opened the book I realized it was a ten year old book that I had read already. So when I saw this book with cover art I had never seen before and a publish date of October, 2009 I hit the buy button.
