You can get it either way.

If you as a GNSI member buy them, you get a discount when you buy throught
the GNSI.  If your School buys them, they will pay full rate thought the
GNSI, but the GNSI gets a larger share of the pie than just royalties.  If
your school has some deal through VNR for a discount, that would be best
for them.  You may also need to add about 2 weeks to the normal time frame
for book orders through the GNSI, because of the mail relay through our
office.
