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...
