Prices of Hungarian books (only hardcover):
PS - $5
CoS - $5
PoA - $6
GoF - $9
Don't laugh, they ARE expensive for us, especially GoF :) (OT) But
it's still cheaper than 3 gallons of gasoline, and much more fun than
driving 90-100 miles :) Excuse me for constantly whining about
European gasoline prices, but my another obsession is cars and
driving...
Back to topic: i like these books, the translations of funny names
are funny too, and the text is translated correctly. The only problem
is that they were edited and printed in a hurry, so they contain
punctuation errors (the most annoying type of errors, i think) and
things like that. I hope that they will be corrected in later
editions.
