The other day I received a solicitation in the mail from P.D.Q.
Distribution, the folks who distribute Leica Fotographie, for a new book,
Leica In Colour by Paul-Henry van Hasbroeck.  Selling price is $117.50 US.

The next day I looked for the same book at Amazon.com.  Prepublication
price is $50.00, discounted by Amazon to $35.00 US plus shipping.

Am I missing something?  Why the huge difference in price?  Is the edition
from P.D.Q different in any substantial way (read "different enough to
justify $67.50 more") from the edition Amazon is selling?  Both are
hardcover with no other explanation as to particulars concerning the
edition.
