Book buying tip - check out Amazon UK
Hi guys
My husband recently ordered some books for his new business. He checked out several Aus book sites and then Amazon Uk. He ordered with Amazon UK and paid $150 (Amazon UK) rather than $250 (Aus book sites). The postage and packing was reasonable (under $20 from Amazon, $10 for Aus book sites) and delivery time was comparable; 3 to 10 days.
