Book Prices can change all the time, so a single book comparison does not give a general picture of prices in different countries.
What I have just done though is compared a list of upcoming popular books for 2012, with prices from the UK, the United States and Australia with delivery costs included for Australia delivery. (My country of residence).
The following are the prices as at 14th January 2012, in the Australian dollars quoted from each supplier on that day.
