Char - are you saying that a basic, standard size and format paperback novel is around $15 Canadian ? Good God..... I always saw on books and magazines the Canada/US differential, but had no idea it was that great. Moreover, (naively I ask) are you saying the Canadian dollar is almost par in international banking with US dollars ? Thats hardly fair to you guys.
And this book - was not one of the premium slightly oversized paperbacks that are more commonly non-fiction, like say "Road-side geology of Sasketchewan" or are historical fiction, not "novel" subject matter per se ? Your run of the mill size novel, say ., Danielle Steele book. $15 Can. - ouch!
