Pretty pricey. I'm not sure how B&N compares, but for one book the minimum shipping cost on Amazon would be $18.48.

Well -- its only $6 if your a prime member. And $18.48 is pretty darn reasonable compared to UPS same-day shipping prices (admittedly designed for a very different purpose).

Prime is REALLY worth it when it comes around to the holidays, and this just makes it better.

Less hastle. Better gifts. Easier to hide the gifts. And Prime's perks continue throughout the year.
