Re: $1.9942
If they haven't, see if they'll get them in. My local has got in a couple of books for me that they didn't have previously. Getting a teenager reading more books is right up their street (usually).

But then, I was also just reminded that she will want to keep them, and the libraries in Australia like to get their books back... eventually

Re: $1.9942
I emailed them this morning to cancel my order (I want to re-order through the .com site and save nearly 3 pounds !
That's the kind of cheapskate I am).Though I am getting worried now that they might cancel it but I'll only be able to re-order on August 1st...losing my 10% discount !!!

or £11.24 at Borders UK
You'd think the same company would have similar pricing ... If they could...
Especially such a large American book company...
But... Borders Australia appears the highest price in Australia
$40.50 Shearers Bookshop Sydney
$38.98 Fishpond.com.au
Yet the lowest price in the UK..
£13.49 www.bookdepository.uk
£11.99 www.bookdepository.com
£11.24 www.borders.co.uk

Re: $1.9942
Do you have unit pricing (i.e. price per 100g or whatever) in the other states?

Re: $1.9942
Why? Not so long ago Vic seemed to be the only state that did unit pricing on meat? It wasn't that long ago that it was extended to most products. Just wondering whether this was a Vic thing (again) or more widespread?
