Is £12 for a New Book a Good Deal?

[marcus]

Amazon UK has it listed for (Pounds Sterling) 11.87 hardcover.

Anybody know how to type the UK poundsign?

Scheduled for release this month.

How much is 12 pounds?

Presumably if you wait for the paperback edition or a used copy you will be able to get it much cheaper. Still I'm curious and begin to feel the 12 pounds burning in my pocket.

thanks Davey, I will try it:
£ = ALT+0163 (using 0-9 number pad)
nope, I can't make it work on my Mac
maybe they have some other code.
but I followed your conversion link and found that 12 Brit = 21 dollars.

the information on Amazon is wrong.

publication in the UK will not be until June
