Oooh interesting items !!!!!
This is sort of off-topic but I wasn't sure where it belonged.
I was just going to ask Farseer where you normally buy books?
I notice that they generally seem more expensive here than the UK and USA but when you take postage into account it's about the same. However, I've found prices are better at the 'book depository' www.BookDepository.co.uk which is a UK website. They have 'free postage' - I'm sure it's incorporated into the price of the books but for me it still works out cheaper than buying in a shop here in Hobart (or online anywhere else I've found so far once you add postage). The thing that really amazes me is there's no minimum order - so I was able to buy one little new release paperback book for $11 which is much cheaper than about $20 in most book stores here. Some of the big non-fiction books are really great prices (I'm saving up!)
