I wanted to buy one of the "Boo Boo Books."

Chaosium wants $12.64 to ship the book.   PDT_Armataz_01_02   Seriously, this is the cheapest method.

Is there a polite way to say "@&c# that!" I don't think so.

@&c# that, just on principle!

I noticed that many of the boo boo books seem to be authors that are free on kindle (or for the complete Lovecraft, including a good many of the harder to find works where he ghost wrote or 'fixed' other authors stories, a compilation runs only a few dollars in electronic format).

True - I have all the Robert Chambers material on my Nook for free, but electronic books are still pretty clumsy.
