I'll be going back, even though I did feel terribly guilty for buying an Australian book out of the UK - but I didn't have much choice! And even if I did, this way was about half the price.

Glad to hear your Book Dep purchase arrived fast, hopefully mine will too. Agreed, my whole income could go on books if shopping online was as pleasing as doing it in person.

It was definitely much cheaper and the book arrived about 3 working days after I ordered it so I was very impressed. I'm with you though - I like browsing in book stores and I would probably buy more if I'm in a store rather than browsing online - there's not the same "pull" to a book when you're just looking at a picture of it. Maybe that's a good thing though - otherwise I'd be spending all my money on books! I ordered my first book from them the other day and was really happy with the whole experience.
