d*s at home.

I am not a big "book" person.  The last coffee table book I received was "Influence" by Mary-Kate and Ashley (yes...it's true.  I have loved those two for as long as I can remember.  I still think they are beautiful.  Not sure I want to be influenced by too many of the people they are influenced by/admire, but still...I like them!  Probably always will!!).  Anywho-there is finally a book called DESIGN*SPONGE at HOME that I am pretty sure I am going to have to get...and I don't even follow Design*Sponge closely!  After watching THIS video though, it's been decided.  I WILL be getting this one :)


I do have a question for you though.  I am feeling a bit of internal turmoil/ethical conflict thinking about this...if purchasing the book through B&N, Amazon, Borders, or Book-a-Million it is %41 off the list price.  Through Indiebound or Powells it is regular price.  Of course the discount sounds appealing.  However, when I think about my struggles with people not receiving/being paid what they deserve I question my urge to buy cheaper.  Hmm...How is it that these larger sellers are discounting it so much?!  I always try to bargain and get a better deal.  Is that what this would be? Or would it be stealing in a sense?  Thoughts?!  HELP!
