I found myself in a JB-type gift-giving situation

In a closeout store, I found a big photo book I knew my sister would like for Christmas... and at a huge discount. I could imagine:

R: Don't forget to peel off the price sticker before you wrap it, Boss!
J: Oh that's right... thanks Rochester. Hmmm... 'Our Price Twenty-nine dollars ninety-nine cents'... gee, why are the stickers always so hard to get off?
R: Say, what about the inside flap of the cover? Isn't there usually a price printed on there?
J: Oh right, I guess I oughta clip that off, or mark over it.... hmmm, 'One hundred dollars'... I don't know, I hate to DEFACE a book... that almost seems like vandalism!
R: Oh Boss, come now!
J: Gee, look at that... too bad I'm not giving this book to Gisele MacKenzie... it's a hundred and THIRTY dollars Canadian!
