I can answer this because I just got my hardback copies of the 4 UK versions
of the HP books.  I ordered them from Amazon.UK.  The total cost was just
under $75.00 (including shipping & handling), and they were delivered
directly to me.  I ordered them on January 5, and they were delivered on
January 16.  I used my VISA charge card, and they translated pounds into
dollars automatically.

One note:  my UK version of GoF does not have the wand order correction --
it still says James came out of the wand before Lily.

First, thanks to everybody who replied to my question!

Second, Jim, did you encounter any issues with paying duty on the
books you ordered from the UK?  I'm guessing any order I would do
would be too cheap to be held up, but I'm curious--did you have to go
to the post office to pay any remnant shipping or customs charges, or
were your books delivered to your door?

I'm thinking it'll be worth it to get the paperback boxed set of the
first three books plus GoF from Amazon.co.uk.  If I've done my
homework right, the whole package could cost under US $30-35.
