That's typically discounted to around £5.99 ($9.30) by online retailers like Amazon, but I believe it's still higher than US prices, isn't it?
Is that a mass market style paperback or a trade style? Here mass market pb's are generally $6.99 to $9.99 (with $7.99 being most common). Trade pb's are generally $12.99 to $17.99. Trades get discounted to as low as around $10, but if a mass market gets discounted it's often not by much.
