Are you comparing the same volumes and with or without postage.
Looking at the Book Depository (from which I have obtained a number of
books, not easily obtainable in Australia), there are three versions
available.
An edition published in 1999. for $71.55
A paperback edition to be published 27th January 2011 for $37.89
A hardback edition to be published 27th January 2011 for $75.39
All prices include postage to Australia. This could explain at least
part of the variation you have seen.
Cheers

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
