They are the McDonalds of publishing. <br /><br />I feel bad sending my money overseas but the price difference seems too much to justify buying a book in Australia. However I do splurge out for a new book or two every now and then. However most of the books that interest me are older books, so I buy them second hand through Abe Books. The books are dirt cheap, the postage means Im still only paying about $12 a book. Cheaper if I order more than one from the same supplier. Check them out.Anthony J.

They had four of the eight books I surveyed in the original blog post, for around $4 each second hand. Of the other books, three were out of stock and one was not mentioned. $4,99 postage to Australia.Graham Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430135062211828206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8661117100748148070.post-14250632544521873502014-10-21T20:56:44.635-07:002014-10-21T20:56:44.635-07:00A commenter on Facebook suggested Booktopia was co...A commenter on Facebook suggested Booktopia was competitive with Amazon. I went and had a look. I checked the same eleven books/ebooks that I used in the blog post. Booktopia did not have the three ebooks. Bootopia was $19.92 dearer for the six print books that were also available at Amazon. But it was $22 cheaper than the bookstores for the eight print books I sampled in the post. I haven't used Booktopia before, but will probably start using them now.Graham Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430135062211828206noreply@blogger.com
