mitchy: (Rip your lungs out)

How annoying is this? I've just read this terrific book called "Death and Restoration" by Iain Pears, all about a Art Theft detective in Rome and her art dealer/college lecturer to-be-husband. There are seven books in the series. The other six are all for sale, via Amazon marketplace, very, very cheaply, and guess what? Total cost of six books is £3.85. Shipping.....£16. SIXTEEN QUID! Because, of course, all the books are with different marketplace sellers who have their individual shipping charges, even where they are only charging a penny (yes, you read that right, two of the books are for sale for 0.01p) for the product.

You'd think they'd figure out this shipping business a bit better, it doesn't cost that much to ship an effing paperback book!

I've been thwarted. Foiled. *glowers* I wish to kick things.

*perks* Could try abebooks.com I guess....*ambles off, casually...*
