I'm hoping that someone signed up with Pearson's OASIS can look up the cost of a book for me. Pearson Canada wants to charge me $90+ but I think the cost is much lower in the US. The book is the instructor's manual for Conceptual Chemistry, ISBN 0805382283 .

Thanks!

It says it is $18.97.

Clearly this is going to be a problem over the next few years. I don't mind paying a little more to "buy Canadian" but more than 4 times as much is outrageous. I pointed out the inconsistence but was told that that was the price for a university-level text. Ordering from Amazon.com is one good solution--but they don't usually have the teacher's manuals. I'd be interested in hearing from other Canadians who have run into this problem.
