Exploring Options: Is £12 for an Upcoming Book Worth It?

In summary, the book "Quantum Pounds" is listed on Amazon UK for £11.87 for a hardcover and is scheduled for release this month. The poundsign can be typed by using ALT+0163 on a Windows computer, but may vary for other devices. The conversion rate for 12 pounds is approximately $21. The book may be cheaper if purchased in paperback or used. However, according to Peter Woit, the publication date for the UK is actually in June, with a later release in the US.

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.
