No, it’s not just your imagination: Books have gotten expensive. Last week, I picked up a paperback at the airport bookstore, and was shocked when the total was over $20. If you have been holding off buying that bestseller you are dying to read, now is the time to do it: Barnes & Noble has announced that its epic half-off sale is back for a limited time.
