Book-related squee

On Sunday I got a notification from the Amazon.com.uk Marketplace that my order had been processed and shipped. Which confused me for a bit until I remembered the pre-order I'd put in for the exceptionally hard-to-find Bagthorpes Battered by Helen Cresswell. Yup, that was it. I'd put in that I was willing to pay up to £25 for it, and, annoyingly, the sale notification failed to list the price they charged me. A moment's thought later, I remembered that my bank reacts at about the speed of light to charges and posts them practically before the ink on my signature is dry, so logging in to my credit-card account revealed that I got charged the staggering sum of ... approximately £8*. For both the book and shipping from teh UK. Woo!




* $16.01 in real American money.
