Tesco are pretty good value but I was going to buy the new one on the Iphone because it's just so handy to carry on the train etc, I read the sample from there. Although It's lovely to have the object of the book and going to a bookshop, I find I read so much more if I can just download it quickly.
Anyway was stopped from buying that because I'm getting it as a gift. Really looking forward to it. His last book Unseen Academicals was brilliant, very enjoyable but like all of his books I read it too quickly.

Like most of my other books,with a few exceptions i got in actual bookstores(Good Omens for one if i remember correctly) my whole discworld-series and non-discworld TP novels i get online from http://www.bol.com.
Good large selection,very reasonable shippingcosts,payment after delivery. :handgestures-thumbup:
I get the reading too quickly though,sort of savouring and rationing it.
When i came to the last few i hadn't read yet,i did try to slow it down too...albeit with a limited degree of succes.

Chapters, in Dublin. I get a lot of them second-hand there, and they give you vouchers if you spend a certain amount, and you can sell books to them They also have nifty gifts. I love that shop.

I agree £7.99 is a bit steep, especially as you can usually pick up a brand new first edition hardback (when they are first released) for as little as £9.95.
You might want to look online for cheaper paperbacks.

Most of my books come from the Wal-mart i work at. They sell at a few %s under the printed price. I got Atlas Shrugged (which is a, i guess you could call it long form paperback, ie slightly taller then normal PBs) for $7.49 (before my employee discount of 10%, well, 4% since they charge 6% sales tax ), but the price printed on the book is $9.99.
But we have never carried a pratchett book, so i get them from books-a-million usually at $7.99 + tax. dunno what that is in pounds though. you can only find paperbacks here except when UA and ISWM were first released. and we get none of the illustrated books so i'm probably gonna have to import Eric and the last hero for those versions (and any other of the illustrated books)
