Bargain!

Amazon is currently selling The Bayesian Choice at a bargain price of $32.97, a rebate of 40% on the list price! And this is the hardcover version… When I first saw the hardcover versions, I thought the printer had made a mistake but this is not a mistake! (While I did not design the cover of this third version of The Bayesian Choice, this is my favorite one. Good thing I did not turn to design rather than statistics.) The Bayesian Choice is thus 
cheaper than Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R despite being more than twice longer and hardcover… Note also that Springer introduced a paperback version of Monte Carlo Statistical Methods but it is surprisingly more expensive than the hardcover on Amazon ($109 versus $76).
