Already got this, an excellent book and sooooo funny.

Quite a bit is in the book that wasn't in the series, well worth the price

the bookdepository (and many other online retailers) vary prices depending on your location in the world. so the book depository give different % discounts on books depending on your location, so if your location (ip address) is Ireland/UK based theres a 57% discount on this book.

but if you were in another country, especially further away like Australia, its likely the 'discount' wont be 57% so the price will be higher.

I'm assuming you are currently outside uk/ireland but 2 ways around this are:

1) get a friend in Ireland to order it for you and enter your foreign delivery address. he will pay €4.43

2) use a proxy server which makes your location appear as Ireland (I dont advise doing this as you could possibly make your payment information visible to the owner of the proxy server)

anyways I still think the price I've posted is valid as the majority of people checking this forum are from Ireland and maybe the UK.

never thought about that before but it could also explain a price difference even though someone is living in ireland

Awesome!
I held off buying this last year because i thought it would be just the book version of the show. But even if it is in parts i will get a nice reminder of all that went on.
