It has little value for helping a person decide whether to have hip surgery, even less value for helping a person decide what kind of surgery to choose. Be not misled by the editors' inclusion of a (very short) chapter entitled, "Hip Implant Surgery. " It says little.

But. . . Book price: $14. 27 Kindle price: $13. 70 Kindle savings: $0. 57 What a rip. Exactly what is it that Kindle's electronic version costs the publisher and Amazon? I won't be buying either version, unless the Kindle version comes down in price. Oh, and by the way, Barnes & Noble eReader version is $9. 99. Kindle premium is 37%.
