The cost of technical books in SA is horrific. However I had a pleasant 
surprise with Amazon.com. I wanted a copy of Perl,CGI and Javascript 
Compleat. I got a secondhand one for $4.50 off the Amazon site. The book is 
in reasonable condition and a lot cheaper than the $18.75 for a new one. 
Also at a value of $4.50 there was no customs hassle (which can be a 
problem with Amazon orders).
oh yes - and I got it in 9 days!
