Prices for books in Oz, when compared to the US, are always high. They sell a lot more of them to a much larger market, so they can afford to drop the prices. However, there seems to be a thing with Oz where we should be selling a book for, say, $40 and the booksellers out here put a premium on the book and make you pay $60 or more. That's over and above any markup and such. Unless I see a bargain, I hardly ever buy a book in a store anymore. I usually go online and get it there.
