I ordered CSC and Agent, woot but I have a question?

I ordered Central Supply Catalog and Agent from Amazon.ca and I got a very good deal. Both books for under 45.00 CDN taxes and shipping included. I just dont know how they can sell me both books for less then Mongoose would sell me just the supply catalog book, I'm figuring in the exchange rate in this conversion. Does Amazon get that big of a price break or they just real bad at math. I'm not trying to peeve anyone at Mongoose off, I'm just curious on the whole thing. But other then that all I need is the Mercenary book which Amazon.ca just cancelled for me as they cant get any. Anyways Mongoose keep up the good work folks.

Mongoose sell books at or around their Recommended Retail Price, which covers their production costs and a small profit, and the costs of the distributor to store and ship the books and a small profit, and the costs of the shopkeeper to maintain their shop and a small profit. Amazon's overheads are far smaller than a bookshop's, so they can afford to sell for below the RRP and still make a profit.
