Can you check again? Last time I checked (I buy books for some friends of mine)
they did sell.

Also Bug stores sells Linux books (well, the're main branch in Dizengoff Center),
and I keep pushing them to get more books about Linux. Example: They bought 20
Books about Linux (include Linux unleashed 3rd revision, Special Edition Using
Linux, etc..), all the books sold under 2 weeks :)
Unfortunetly, Bug prices are pretty stiff :(

Correction: The 1.99 price is for the free version. 33$ will get you the official
release with the RH book (excluding mail delivery price).

True, but NOT at that price. Even there are not many Linux books sellers, that
doesn't mean you can cut our throat with this ridiculos amount.

For them I suggest to pick up the phone and call 2-3 more stores. I'm sure they'll
find it cheaper.
