[AGA-mcm] Buying more APHB (Aquatic Plant HandBook)?

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Diana said the APHBs haven't been selling lately. She has 5
left and doesn't think we should buy more right now.

I was a little confused on the pricing and she provided a
very good explanation -- see below. The shipping costs are
not a linear function of the number of books, thus, the
diff prices for diff numbers of books.

So how many you folks want to tell her to buy?
