Well I had a browse round the BOB UK site, and I must say that I was totally and cynically unsurprised to see that not a single one of the "Geographically Restricted" books on my wishlist was available from any publisher or distributor.
As far as I can see, the only "advantage" of this site is that I don't have to pay any $ to £ conversion fees. Instead, I can pay vastly inflated prices for books. The old "dollar == pound" conversion one used to see was bad enough, but I am seeing "dollar == pound * 1.5" or worse in some cases.
No wonder the UK is *still* known as "Treasure Island".
