Yes, a real case of "go figure". I have given up on Amazon because
their prices are often ridiculous, their freight exorbitant and
several times they have refused to send the books I ordered to
Australia. At least the sellers linked to AbeBooks use the US mail
service, which is much, much cheaper.

It is often weird. I was looking for a book recently which was on sale
in Aus for around $100 - from the publisher in Europe at $75 inc
postage and on Amazon for - wait for it - $808 new and over $1000
secondhand!

Dear All,
I have just been chasing up Harrison's "Field Guide to the Birds of
Sri Lanka" for someone else and have been mind-boggled at the
difference in prices. The publisher, Oxford University Press, lists it
for AUD 160, AbeBooks, from around AUD 75 up and a bookshop in Sri
Lanka, around AUD 17.
I wonder if any one on the list can explain this price discrepancy,
apart from the fact that we always seem to be hammered on prices in
Australia), I would be mightily obliged.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
