No. Is my book design business doing so well that I can just afford to drop that kind of money on a set of books? No. Am I going to contact Abbey's Books to see if I can get a refund and stop this? Absolutely no. I'm so excited about getting it that I will be on pins and needles until it arrives from Australia.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627041632799059838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-2655632091494612172007-07-09T10:22:00.000-05:002007-07-09T10:22:00.000-05:00Hey, it looks like Abbeys Bookshop in Sydney, Aust...Hey, it looks like Abbeys Bookshop in Sydney, Australia is selling the sets on line for 200 Australian dollars. One Australian dollar is about 85 cents in US.<BR/>So it's about $170. In the UK Amazon.com they're selling for about $300 US.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627041632799059838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-55637285160874337372007-07-08T17:51:00.000-05:002007-07-08T17:51:00.000-05:00Yup, they're beautiful.

Last sale nearly the complete Penguin 70s series was there. And it was pretty cheap, Rs 25 each. Which would translate to around 2 books per dollar.<BR/><BR/>A shame that I was short of money then and had to go for the bulkier books coming at the same price. I got about 150 penguin-dk-bloomsbury-etc books.<BR/><BR/>If there's some 70s books left next sale, I might pick them up for you guys.Trinankurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566226409572659127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-47638187960709691192007-07-04T17:42:00.000-05:002007-07-04T17:42:00.000-05:00I've seen sets on Amazon.co.uk (new, but through a...I've seen sets on Amazon.co.uk (new, but through a bookseller) for about 150 pounds.
