The book itself is usually only a couple of bucks cheaper, but the standard amazon shipping is around 12 bucks and takes 18-30 days or something, courier shipping generally doubles the cost of the order. Via whispernet I save a couple of bucks and have the book in a couple of minutes. I have given up completely on buying books from inside Aus as they always arrive quicker via Amazon and are generally cheaper so it works for me.
