In early 1990's I bought a Terry Pratchett book that was 3.99 Cad, 4.99 UK pounds and 7.99 Australian dollars (on the spine). Both UK and Australian currencies were worth a lot more on currency markets than CAD and wages were not that much higher that I could determine. I thought good grief, those poor people. These were paper books so perhaps paper was exorbitant in UK and Australia.
