Here's the last comment she offered.  Hope some of this helps someone get 
around this hassle and buy something they want.  I'm going to try it later, 
myself.

Hi Daniel, Here's the URL for the site I used.

www.amazon.com/access

When I go there, which I just did to make sure it still worked the way I
remembered, it welcomed me with a "hello Shari Weir" message.

I then searched in books for Arab Table.

The next page told me there were 13 books found. Arab Table was the first
listing. So I clicked on it.

The next page had just the Arab Table with a link for new and used and a
link to add to cart. I clicked the new and used link because if you click
the add to cart at this point, the lowest price item gets added. This page
was also where there was the editorial review info.

On the next page there were links for all used, all new, and Amazon's offer.

The next page showed the Amazon price of $23.07, and had a link to add to
cart. So that's where I stopped.

I don't know if would matter, but I'm still using Jaws 5.1

Good luck.

Shari I clicked Amazon's offer.
