UPDATE – The book just arrived, I ordered on a Friday afternoon (22 May) at 5pm (local time) and the book was just delivered at 10.30am (local time) this morning (28 May).  Perfectly packaged and in perfect new condition. A+

UPDATE - Thanks to @nikkinewshoes on Twitter I now know of another Aussie online bookstore Fishpond.com.au – results added below

A mate of mine recently recommended I try The Book Depository, a UK based online bookstore (link) instead of getting shafted by Aussie ‘bricks and mortar’ or online stores.  I have been eyeing off American photographer Joe McNally’s book “The Hot Shoe Diaries” and thought it would be a good opportunity to try out The Book Depository.  Here’s the results.

1. Angus & Robertson Online (Australian bookstore) – AUD$74.95 + AUD$6.00 delivery = AUD$80.95
2. Dymocks Online (Australian bookstore) – AUD$39.95 + AUD$6.95 delivery = AUD$46.90
3. Amazon.com (USA online store) – US$26.39 + US$9.98 delivery  = US$36.37 (AUD$46.53)
4. Fishpond (Australia online store) – AUS$35.60 + AUS$5.99 delivery = AUS$41.59
5. The Book Depository (UK online store) – GBP£17.07 + Free delivery = GBP£17.07 (AUD$34.68)

Not only is The Book Depository the cheapest by a fair margin but shipping is free and you can also pay by PayPal or ANY credit card type.

Another great example of getting shafted in Australia!
