Audio books`

[Simon Branford]

Simon: "Have just been to WHSmiths online and they have a Harry 
Potter sale. Very dangerous. They have the audio books (Stephen Fry 
reading or course) at half price. I am not sure, but may end up 
having to buy them."
Amanda: "Oh, Siiiimon....can we have the URL? You couldn't have 
posted what regular and/or half price IS, could you? And do you know 
if they ship to the benighted wilds of Texas?" 
Kelley: "Bol.com was still cheaper for the box set than WHSmiths, but 
I didn't check other prices...

The following prices are for the audio books on CD read by Stephen 
Fry. The price quoted for each book is the WHSmiths online price, 
which is currently half the normal retail price. The price in 
brackets is the US including delivery price for each individual book.

PS:  £19    ($35)
CoS: £21.5  ($38)
PoA: £26.5  ($46)

Total: £67

Total including US Shipping: £76

Same in US dollars: $110


I worked with a conversion rate of £1=$1.45 - I think this is correct.


I have no clue why they have not reduced the price of the box sets by 
very much, but they haven't. They also have the UK versions of the 
books on half price sale, so if you want a complete set now may be 
the time to buy (though postage costs may make the buying of the 
books a less good deal).
