I just ordered them from my local bookstore.

The paperback price was generally around 8 or 9 dollars. Including shipping and handling this translated to approximately 17 to 20 gulden.
I never bought dutch translations of english books again, as you can imagine.

There might of course have been a significant difference in price between hardcover and paperback though. But I was never prepared to pay harcover prices for fiction anyway.

EDIT:
Oh... and I went to the American Bookstore and W.H. Smith in Amsterdam on a regular basis. Always came home with a bag of books. Great scifi mostly.
