<t>I agree that it is nostalgia with the original covers, Trampier does the best inside pictures (and may still be unequalled) but not the best colour work. However, those new covers, maybe while technically better, gave off the whiff of coming change, oh sure it took a few years, but then the 2e ju...

<t>Now Harry. I say price-gouge in relation to price-creep. Creep is that extra nickel here and there that nobody notice or complains about. You can't say that a $7 rise in a product all at once (it was a box of frozen chicken bits) isn't past the term "creep".<br/> <br/> And I do understand that th...

<t>About the same as a gallon of milk. Price creep has become full blown price gouge. Last weekend I was at a food wholesale store and they were raising prices, one item went from $14 to $21. Just like that. No $16 then $18, straight to $21. And the employee couldn't believe it himself. Times are ge...
