I’ve been eying up a rather large set of books in recent months
Yes, Shelby Foote’s 3 volume tome, ‘The Civil War’.
Whats been putting me off is the price, at $AU69.95 per volume and with three volumes its a little on the expensive side.
So I had a look at Amazon yesterday, and to my delight, they are selling ALL THREE for around $US42.00 - with postage, thats about $62.00 - or a good $140 less than buying it in Australia off my local bookshop.
Its not the bookshops fault, its the publishers. But at that price difference, they deserve to have their market killed.
Anyway, it should arrive in the mail in about 2-3 weeks.
