Very snazzy - looking forward to HTTPS. :) Book Depository is a weird thing; for a couple of years, I was unable to buy books there, because they had met some kind of weird quota for my country. Wonder what was up with that, but I assume it has to do with some tax-dodging deal in Jersey or wherever they're based.

Book Depository used to have, for some books, much better deals than Amazon. Then it got bought by Amazon, and prices are pretty much equivalent now.

I remember I bought a book probably one or two years ago and it was available on Amazon (but it was sold by BD behind) and directly by BD and BD was cheaper.
