Just wondering:
what's the reason the book in the US is so much cheaper than the other ones? Sure, it can be manufactered there, but that doens't justify an +20Gé¼ cost.
Even the UK version is cheaper then the EU version. Would love to get someone from ccp to react on this.

Shipping and customs and/or tariff charges, I reckon. Maybe someone will come along to do the math.

The UK uses pounds, not Euros, and their economy is separate from Euro's.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

This kind of question comes up periodically and the simple answer is taxes which vary widely in different regions.
And the US price is not as cheap as it looks. Due to how US sales tax is done the price you see does not include tax so what you actually pay is higher than the listed price. In many other parts of the world tax is included in the listed price and you pay exactly that much. |

It wouldn't surprise me too much if the printing is happening in the uk. so it's already there. Which makes shipping _far_ easier. Or they just shipped a batch to the uk, and will handle the European shipping from there.
In addition, iirc, Books don't have VAT charged on them in the uk. So there may be that.
The US price as mentioned above, doesn't include sales tax. While some people won't bother paying it, they are liable to. Just a screwed up system over there.
Woo! CSM XI!

In the US, online sellers are only required to collect sales tax at time of purchase if they have a physical store presence in the state where the buyer resides. Technically, you're supposed to report all items that you purchased online and didn't pay a sales tax on, but nobody does and it's never enforced for private consumers (with the exception of big ticket items like boats and cars) . In this case, CCP isn't required to collect the sales tax and nobody is going to enforce reporting requirements on the consumer end.
On the other hand, shipping costs an extra $17 to the East Coast.

There are differences in VAT, State and Federal Taxes between the US, UK and EU.
This makes the price different. There's also differences in shipping and logistics costs, which makes the price differ a little.
Hope this helps.

It's sold out in the US. Some copies left in the UK and EU. It's being shipped out of the UK for UK and EU orders, which allowed us to have a lower shipping cost in the UK. |

In all fairness in this computer age... but the world of printing is consumptive, and somewhat expensive, quality paper, quality inks, time and labor ... The pre-order makes all of that happen. Glad to help make a book worth having. |
