Getting UK HBP in the US: reality check

[Joe Bento]

Hello Annemehr,

I have UK and US editions of all the books, though I'm not enough of 
a fanatic to collect the different covers from the UK editions.  As 
weak as the US dollar is, I usually figure on doubling the price in 
pounds to equal US dollars. My HBP is already reserved on amazon.uk 
as well as my local Boarders, where I will attend their midnight 
release party.

Joe
