This morning I decided to buy a copy of Maus. [View all]

I heard Brianna Keilar and John Berman (on CNN) interview Art Spiegelman about his book Maus. Although I am not the biggest fan of graphic novels, I looked through the sample and found it very approachable. I am looking forward to reading it.

So this is also the thing: When I bought it this morning on Amazon it was $22.37. This evening the same book is $31.49. What is that about?
