The books have always been expensive here and after Mondadori started "breaking" most novels in two (and the other publishers quickly followed) they've become even more so.<BR/>Yesterday I received the British hard-cover of Richard Morgan's The Steel Remains from play.com and it cost me less than a single Italian paperback (not to mention two).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12158536.post-46883299047949411132008-08-05T03:59:00.000-04:002008-08-05T03:59:00.000-04:00I've already booked it, but because of the August ...I've already booked it, but because of the August holidays (everything just STOP in August over here) I don't think I'll have it in my hands before the end of the month :-(<BR/><BR/>But I read the excerpts on your site... and just LOVED them!<BR/><BR/>I'm currently reading the translation of a German series about dwarves.

How disgraceful!!! But not surprising, they often do it, over here. <BR/><BR/>I like the cover a lot myself. Actually, when I first saw the book (I mean I just saw it, I saw the cover) I though, “Uhm, interesting” even before I read the blurb.
