   Actually, this isn’t true, and is a very good example of deceptive advertising on Amazon’s part. Add up Amazon’s price for the two books individually, and you get the same price they list there. The “discount” is off the standard list price, and you get it whether you buy both books or just one. This seems to be standard practice at Amazon, so please don’t be fooled.

Heh, I was fooled. : Well, at least I saved one shipping & handling fee...

Not that I want to rub salt in it or anything, but that's not entierly true
either.

Bying just one book has a s&h fee of $8.98 while bying a combo is $13.49 (to
Sweden).

You did save $4.47 though :) Not to mention how much cheaper it got *not* bying
from a Swedish retailer...

It looks like they have changed the combo with the Powertools book now from
Virtual LEGO to a Mindstorms book (sorry, don't remember the title).
