Yeah. I calculated it as one page of the book per sheet, but depending
on the size of the book I could fit two.

Yeah, you're right. Checking again, it's $15.25 at Chapters.ca - even
after shipping and everything (I don't know what they charge for it) it
won't be *too* much more than photocopying it, and I can chalk that up
to paying for the convinience of actually owning the book.

I also don't have a library card at the moment, and I don't know what
the fee is to get a new one.
