There’s a new Angus & Robertson bookstore in Wendouree village, within walking distance of my work. That’s great – although they don’t have the range of SF/Fantasy that Melbourne has, there’ll still be some things I want to pick up.

Unfortunately, I have to put up with the stupidity of Australian book prices. Consider this – the Laurell K. Hamilton mass-market paperback is aus$23. It’s price in America? $8.

With the current exchange rate, that means it *should* be around aus$10 or $11. There is something deadly wrong with book prices in Australia.
