I thought I'd see if I could find a lower price in the Euro zone, or a price outside that would correspond to a lower price. I used kelkoo.co.uk first, then tried their service in other regions. Here's what I found: United Kingdom: 23.75 GBP (~34 EUR) http://books.theregister.co.uk/catalog/browse.asp?ref=863830 Apparently, shipping would be free if the price was over 25 GBP. :-( Otherwise, it appears that delivery to Europe is 7.95 GBP (~11 EUR)! (http://books.theregister.co.uk/info/payment_delivery.asp) Norway: 297 NOK (~38 EUR) http://www.capris.no/product.aspx?isbn=0132354187 Shipping appears to be free (within Norway, I suppose), but that may depend on my interpretation of the word "fraktfritt"! (http://www.capris.no/customerservice.aspx) The first price shouldn't include any tax. I'm not certain what the situation is with tax on books in Norway, so I don't know if the price is inclusive of tax or not.
