Plan 9 book in Australia?

Plan 9 book in Australia?

[Stephen]

I've been looking for the book & went off to Dymocks bookstore, to see what 
they could do. They told me that it'd have to be ordered in from the States 
(which I expected) and the predicted price was $931. After recovering from 
this shock (I was expecting about $500) I wondered if anyone else in Oz had 
bought it. Do any of the Basser crowd (or anyone else for that matter) have a 
clue where it could be purchased for a cheaper price than this?

I rang HB in Florida/Texas/whereever and ordered that way.  With FedEx, I 
paid about 10% extra, but had it within the week.  I had to tell them that 
HB Aus didn't know about it, though.  I haven't yet had my MC bill to see 
what exchange rate they used...

Sounds like a typical Aus bookstore ripoff.  Add 40% to retail price?  
Yes...
