But I'm back! Yeah!?
Buying books online may seem cheap until you notice the postage charges which can be quite steep, especially from bookshops like Amazon and the like. With some of the charges you may as well go to your local bookshop instead, the cost is comparable.
Now, I just love books, especially new books. It may have something to do with the fact that books are one of the few things I can afford to buy new, along with food, sometimes.
What I find surprising is that in all the hours I have spent on the interweb I have never come across The Book Depository, who ship from their "Fulfilment Centre" in Gloucester, England.
What the fuck is a Fulfilment Centre?
Anyway, their books are cheap (the four books I picked out were under $50), and the postage is free!
I reckon it is worth a look. And they are always open.

Excellent. I will peruse! Keep buying that new food Spencer, it's so much tastier than the old stuff.
Nice one mate. Just bought a new wetsuit from the UK freighted to my door within for nearly $200 less than I could get one for in Oz! Crazy!
within? 10 days!
Thanks for clarifying that RamSnake, I thought that a friendly postman had put it inside your house.
Cheers,
