	I find it very hard to believe that an Indian Edition book cost
you $60 when you bought it.  In my experience, standard hardcover textbooks
in the $50-75 range in the US cost typically Rs. 100-300 in Indian paperback
editions, which transalate to roughly $3-10.  These Indian editions are
fully legal but are printed in India with coarser material and paper, which
makes them fully compatible in terms of content but markedly worse in terms
of quality of manufacture compared to standard US editions.
	I really don't care what you charge for your books, but it seems to
me that you are trying to make a great deal of money off this by offering
a book of much poorer quality at rates that would be appropriate for an
American edition.
