Brett,
Not so fast with the USA v Europe book price comparison! I did a check and found that while I could get this book from Amazon in the US for about £26 including postage, the same book from Amazon in the UK would cost me £34 including postage. The only difference is that it would take 11-18 days to get here from the US and 24 hours from Amazon.co.uk. Since I'm in no hurry, I've asked the latter why I should buy it from them and await an answer.

I purchased Oliviers portfolio at FNAC in Paris last year at the full retail
price of 8.50euro, a far cry from the $35 at Amazon. It will be interesting to
see what the 3 volume Tour de France 100th anniversary compilation recently
released by Equipe sells for once it is translated. (I highly recommend the
TdF set. It is an absolute knock-out!)
