Redeye.com.au is outta stock and won't have any in 'til the end of the month, so amazon's I guess all I'm left with. I'm about to order it from one of those 'marketplace' people, since I can get it there at about half price and the postage is the same. Amazon.com's prices by themselves are usually fine, it's just all the freakin' postage and handling that makes it expensive. For one book you'll pay (the cheapest way) $20 in p+h. Ridiculous when I've had tshirts and things sent over from American plebs and seen the tag on them saying they cost $3-5 to send. Amazon's such a scam.
