While people are used to seeing deals at Amazon, the present【C2】______ is unusually deep. The booksellers’ newsletter Shelf Awareness【C3】______ a rare Saturday issue about them, writing that the discounts were at "levels we’ve never seen in the history of Amazon." And according to Jack Mckeown, president of Books & Books Westhampton Beach in New York, it is an open【C4】______ of war against the industry.

选项
答案
G
