I'm curious to see how differently they read."

It depends what is meant by best. Amazon is usually quickest but is rarely
the cheapest.

Amazon (www.amazon.co.uk)
23.36 for the books (4.79 for each of the first three and 8.99 for GoF)
10.95 for delivery to the US (2.95 flat rate and then 2.00 per book)
Total: 34.31

Bol (www.uk.bol.com)
18.29 for the books (3.00 for each of the first three and 7.50 for GoF)
8.50 for delivery to the US (flat rate for up to 10 books - I think)
Total: 26.79

Whsmiths (www.whsmith.co.uk)
19.76 for the books (3.59 for each of the first three and 8.99 for GoF)
10.75 for delivery to the US (2.95 flat rate and then 1.95 per book)
Total: 30.51

Please note that there may be other sites out there as well but these are
the ones that I use and trust. I would not use just any Internet site that I
found - I need somewhere I would trust with my credit card details.
Also all prices quoted above are correct when I checked them a few minutes
ago and are in Pounds Sterling.
I believe the current UK to US conversion is $1.45 to one pound. Meaning
that the BoL (which is the cheapest) would cost about $40 (I think using
exact conversion rate it comes to $38.82).

Also where I say US above I would guess that this also includes Canada.
