After reading Steve's initial posting, I called AT&T within minutes. I had 
the previous Device Driver manual and I knew it was a great buy. AT&T shipped
the books at the reduced rate but later charged my VISA account the entire
"current" price. I called AT&T to complained and they were extremely helpful.
They stated that they were honoring the price quoted and they submitted a
credit to my VISA for the overage. If this happens to you, call asap.
PS. Thanks Steve...
