Hi Thomas,
Not to defend Walmart but they have a huge selection of books - not just
Cisco books. I guess when you get that big - books is just another natural
step. I know when Walmart started having the groceries available in the
store - they became the largest grocery chain in the nation - again just
from the huge size. Personally, I'm a Target fan but to each their own.
But, yes, Walmart does seem to be beating everybody's price - including book
sniffer sites like BestBookBuys and AddAll and their collection of stores.
