    The Book Depository web site is down for maintainance at the moment and offering vouchers (value unknown) for use when it comes back up. I guess this offer won't last for long, get it while you can!

    Cheers, no mention of the value of the voucher in the sent message is a bit odd - we'll have to wait and see.

    I'd be very surprised if it was more than a sterling pound or two!

    Just a heads up there, the Book Depository had a system upgrade this morning and now that theyre on-line again they appear to have slashed all their prices.

    Example: One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest (Penguin Modern Classics) just over €6. Free delivery as usual.
    Kim (Oxford Worlds Classics) for only €5.50.

    John McGahern books under €6, theyre something like €11 in Easons.

    The website sometimes times out though, and returns blank content. If you could order some books there youd be laughing.

    Unfortunately Im too broke.

    Did you notice the reduced prices?

    Im supposed to be saving for holidays (and Im real broke) but I ended up getting 5 books for €27.50, thats €5.50 each. And theres Penguin Modern Classics in there, that cost about €11 in Waterstones. Its nuts.
