National Directory CD - $79.95?!?

I understand the significant costs involved in putting together a handsome hard-bound directory, however, $79.95 for a CD seems a bit overpriced. Do you realize that a mass-produced CD, with insert and a jewel case costs just a little over $.05 to manufacture. Why do you think you get one from AOL every week? Don't you think that Bernard C. Harris publishing could cut us some slack on the price of the CD? If not, will someone who's already paying through the nose for it be a doll and put it up on Kazaa or something? I would like to have an electronic copy, but I wouldn't pay $79.95 for a directory CD even if there was the CIA's NOC list on it.

I agree. I was in shock to find out how much the hard-bound copy costs, let alone the cd. I would love to have a copy of the directory but do not have $80 to spend.

Our alumnae chapter purchases one for use by the entire group. There is no reason a college chapter couldn't do the same thing.
