I just bought the book. I originally had been waiting for the used price to go down, but I just got a Barnes and Noble gift card as a gift. ERE was one of the few books I was looking forward to getting, so I decided to get it from the B&N web site. The price was a little higher than the Amazon price, but it didn't matter to me because I was not expecting to get that gift card. Thus, it was basically free.
I just received The Book yesterday from Amazon. Called in sick, got through the first 2 chapters. My biggest decision now is whether to sell my house in this depressed market and go to renting or hang on until the market gets better. Renting would allow me to save a lot more, but a better market would potentially net more than I could save during the same period of waiting.

@CityGirl I am actually in the process of this decision now. Looking to get a new job in the city and then rent a place in the city to avoid driving altogether. I don't want to sell in a depressed market, however. I am lucky in that my sister is looking for a place to rent, but doesn't want a small place and also wants to live in a nice neighborhood. She has been having some trouble finding places that fit her (limiting) criteria.
Enter me!
I offered to rent my house to her at a loss, which will be recouped by me through saving money in gas. So after a year, I can either up her rent a little bit to recoup costs or sell at less of a loss than I am now. Ideally, she'd buy it from me and I'd give her the family discount, which would make me feel less bad about my loss
Anyways, I know not everyone is lucky enough to have a reliable trustworthy renter at the ready, however perhaps it could be an option for you to rent to someone?
