Out of interest, how much did you pay for your copy of the book? Sorry all the prices are in pound sterling, I will try find a link to a currency converter if anybdy wants one

My wife got it for £11 from WHSmith, then saw it an hour later at Sainsburys for £8.95.

I'm waiting in the line to read it.

Steffi · 18th July 2005, 04:38 PM

My local book shop £19.99...including bag, book marker and scar.

little smaug · 18th July 2005, 08:47 PM

Scar? :erm:

What, do they whack you with the book before handing it to you?!

Steffi · 19th July 2005, 09:16 AM

Did you not have a transfer of the lightning scar Little Smaug??

little smaug · 19th July 2005, 09:47 AM

Ah, a transfer, ok.

Nope, I'm guessing that was just a special thing your bookshop were doing?

Steffi · 19th July 2005, 12:39 PM

I blush at my mistake....it was £12.99:blush:

Must take more water with it

Must have been a special. I must look after them.

Did anyone else have a bag, bookmarker and lightning scar??

timdgreat · 19th July 2005, 02:08 PM

i paid 18$, but i dont know what that is in pounds, so i put other for the poll

:rolly2:

little smaug · 19th July 2005, 07:01 PM

I was thinking that £20 was a bit much, Steffi!

Tim, that's about £10, I think.

Dave · 19th July 2005, 09:57 PM

Yes, I think $20 is currently worth about £11.11.

So, can anybody beat £7.00 from ASDA (part of WalMart now) or the £5.00 (trunks can't remember where)?

FeedMeTV · 29th July 2005, 11:39 PM

Mine was about 7/8 pounds from Tesco - not bad really! I don't think many people pay the full retail price anymore because shops can't afford not to be competitive any more.
