in reply to Canadians (and possibly other non-US monks) Buying Perl Books Online

Actually, the Germans have it pretty good. if you order from Amazon.de, you get FREE shipping (did he say free? YES, I said FREE shipping!) perhaps this is true of other amazon branches and amazon usually has around 10%-20% off the retail price AND YOU HAVE TO TRY OUT THEIR PATENTED ONE-CLICK(tm) ORDERING- which is very much like the submit button I'm about to click below. But amazon is afraid of guys with bug guns.

German monks Buying Perl Books Online

    Actually, not only Amazon.de offers FREE shipping, but also buecher.de, wich are cheaper on some (not all) of the O'Reilly books.
    And you can order all O'Reilly books through O'Reilly.de.
    Bigger bookstores also stock O'Reilly (in the original and in translation).

      ORA prices are volatile as the US$ is. :-( & :-)
      But more interesting in fact are newer offers alike "lion.cc" who attempt to undermine the price fixing for books (yeah, we have, don't forget the german ambitions).
      However all of the above turns out, I still prefer to go to a well sorted book store, where they have all ORA and all Addison Wesley. And there I hang out and read and buy the books I need. :-)
      E-commerce is something quite nice, but can't replace well working and comfortable procedures in all places. Hmm, may be I should ask for rebate or perhaps a coffee next time {grin}

      Have a nice day
      All decision is left to your taste
