Its tricky, I've seen a group called OR Books who don't allow they're 
books to be sold anywhere involving the trade and only selling directly 
http://www.orbooks.com/ we can use the ISBN system for simple 
visibility. I don't think there is a problem with keeping the price 
down, in fact thats what the capitalist systems do, like evil Amazon 
they act as a engine to drive down price sending small shops and small 
publishers out of existence, like a big out of town shopping centre.

My case for allowing shops to sell the book is that in my option we 
can't be outside of capitalism until we smash it to smithereens, and its 
behind us, and the pamphlet does a good job of empowering people to 
bring that day closer :-)
