Cheap Books, CDs and DVDs at Borders
Borders have 40% off books, CDs and DVDs this week. Sign up for their email newsletter and to download the necessary vouchers at: www.borders.com.au
I just bought a load of stuff for $88 that would have cost $144 full price.

Borders rock. Without them the Aussie bookshop scene would be pretty bleak. 40% off is a lot - cheaper than Amazon or Ebay.

Great timing I was off to the bookshop this weekend to buy something to keep me entertained on the flight to England (Tuesday). Its an added bonus when you get money off!

Re: Cheap Books, CDs and DVDs at Borders
Anyone ever order from the the book depository.co.uk in Australia. They have free worldwide delivery.
I always use them here in Ireland. They are tons cheaper than amazon, ebay or any store.
Was wondering what the delivery times were to australia and have people had good experience with them, if any?

we use them a lot. books usually take 5 days to arrive.we always check exchange rate & use our uk bank account. excellent for kids and specialist titles.amazing range of books and we've also used the links to abe books for unavailable/out of print books. if they can offer free postage why cant other retailers ?

Have been using book depository for a year or two now and they are the best so far.

Cheap books, how about 60c
If you have kids that read books in 2 hours $20 a pop is a bit steep. Council library system here is brilliant, weve had all the new books by Potter, Horowitz, Muchamore, Cowell, etc etc within 2 weeks of release by simply reserving them around the release date at the library. Brand new copies 60C
They do overseas magazines too, and all the investment mags etc, for the amount of reading the family does in a year reckon we save thousands.

Re: Cheap Books, CDs and DVDs at Borders
Thanks for the heads up. We just had a three day (two nights) break in a Novatel in the Sunshine coast for $49 from a mate by email (we had to sit through 90mins of timeshare blurb). Perhaps we could start a bargains thread/forum on here for these types of offers?
