I suspect they are going to have problems in court over that one.  The
Constitution very clearly states that the Federal Government has the power
to regulate interstate commerce, not the states.  They can tax those
entities operating in their own borders, but trying to tax ones operating
elsewhere isn't going to work, and e-commerce sites will just move to
places that don't have sales tax, or where the tax is lowest...even out of
the country (they can always "drop-ship" from local warehouses, as many do
already).

BTW, is there any market for paperbacks with printing mistakes on the
cover?  I have an extra copy of a David Drake book that I just noticed has
one of the printing runs offset from where it should be (i.e. the cover
looks normal, but the metallic overprint of the title is shifted 1/2" or so
up and left of where it should be).  I know double-struck coins are
collected...anyone do books with similar mistakes?
