A few months ago, I strolled into my local bookstore intent on getting the Torchwood books. It was March, they'd been out for a bit, they should be there.

Then I remembered I was in the US. There was much *facepalming*

Fast forward nearly a year, and while searching for John's autobiography on Borders - I live in hope! false hope, but it's less depressing than the price - what do I find but the Torchwood books. For a little bit more than what I paid for them though Amazon. So, sadly, it's still better to order them over the internet, as long as you can wait to use Super Saver Shipping.



Speaking of Amazon:

The Torchwood DVD is priced at $60 USD, and slated for 22 January release date. Please consider waiting that two extra months, as the price for the UK release on 19 November is $83.88 USD, plus $6.26 USD shipping. Actually, depending on international shipping, it may just be cheaper period to order from the US. ( like 29.50 GBP, plus 3.92 GBP shipping ( plus VAT ) vs 41.99 GBP ) Uhm, exchange rate for the win?

...Yeah, totally did not just price everything out to figure out where it's cheaper to buy everything, as of today. Though if I have to do international shipping, it's gonna be cheaper to do UK than Canada. Because the base price of the audio books is $10 cheaper, let alone the international shipping rates from the UK is than Canada. ( $17.43 USD, plus $6.24 shipping vs $26.26 USD plus $8.98 shipping. There's the issues of taxes/customs but that's... going to be up there either way. )
