Bit outside of my price range at the moment so I won’t be purchasing this. But I’m all in favour for the idea!
Had some cracking covers recently so I’m glad we’ll get to see them collected in print form.

There is a big article in the latest Vortex.. Maybe that's why it was 1 day late?  |

Great idea. Also love the use of the word just.

This is a direct and unwarranted attack on my finances. I fear my savings will not survive.

Let's see: $48.20 for the book $6.03 "per order" charge $48.22 for shipping Total: $102.45 Nope. That's a big nope from me, can't afford it. |

Yeah, while its a cool idea, it's not something I would pay much money for to begin with as I wouldn't;t get all that much out of it long-term, and for the price it costs internationally, I really won't be picking it up. I wonder what covers they will have chosen to include and if it will be only stories with a Doctor or include spin-offs,

Yes, I also wonder what will be included.

I think it's just ones with the doctor, so no spinoffs.

Companies like Candy Jar Books are able to ship large books overseas without a huge markup on shipping, it makes you wonder why BF is so unwilling to do some leg work to find a better shipping deal. |

I used to drain my bank account on a regular basis for years from "UK Book Depository" - Nil P&H.. Now they have folded into Amazon. |

I am still debating this. Purely because Postage & Handling is literally more than the book.
I am comparing prices every few business days, as the price changes...
I have 1 week to make a deci$ion.

/photo/1 I am still debating this. Purely because Postage & Handling is literally more than the book. I am comparing prices every few business days, as the price changes... I have 1 week to make a deci$ion. I've noticed that generally (perhaps not always, but generally), shipping prices drop once the item is no longer on pre-order. I'm not sure how long after release that takes effect though, so I know I'll be keeping an eye on this post-release date to see if/when the shipping cost goes down. I don't know if the reduced shipping price is going to be that different to the pre-order one, but I think it's worth a shot to wait. If not, I guess I'll just have to go onto the second hand market to get one. What with the shipping cost, even a $60-$70 markup second hand would be cheaper than ordering direct!  |

Ok.. serious question.
How does the postal service in UK work? Not counting couriers , but Government postal service, the mail that gets delivered to your letterbox 5-6 days a week. Do you just have the 1?
I am a bit concerned - I have a library full of books ( a few ppl on this forum has seen pictures of my Batcave ). I buy books constantly from various companies in Aust/UK/USA ..
This book as of now (converted to AUST $) :
Book : $86.21
Per Order Charge : $9.58
Non Discounted Special Delivery Cost : $105.37
Total cost : $201.16
I would LOVE to buy this book, just concerned at the P&H charge.

HHMMM BF are only shipping this via courier even in the UK where it's £15 postage, about $29 Aus. So £60 all in to buy direct, $120ish. Them's the breaks of special delivery via courier, especially Australia which has the most exorbitant import and export fees I've dealt with. |

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

Oh yes: one of our billionaires complained because people were buying stuff off the internet instead of from his ridiculously overpriced shops so the the former government (to whom he was a massive donor) reduced the import tax limit from $1000 to nothing, with the result that we have to pay imports on everything we buy from overseas. |
