If I didn't collect any royalties on the book, Wiley would still be charging over $140 for it. I have a commitment from them to keep the price of the 4th Edition, due in the first half of 2002, under $100. I know that's not much help, but, believe me, I'm trying - I haven't made a flow cytometer that's cheaper than the book, but as Paul and many others know, you can get a computerized microscope (the Intel/Mattel QX3) for less money... -Howard
