What really gets up my nose is the price of books in this country. We must have the most expensive books in the world! Why? Are they supertaxed or is it just the local retailers?
For the last few years we have bought most of our books from Amazon but the shipping cost negates most of the advantage (but we persist). Might be time to get one of those E Book readers, I see you can get an Ecopy of Alice in Wonderland for 5 cents.
