Hi, I found that Amazon.co.uk have two copies of the book available from the USA at less than I paid for mine (I don't have an idea of what the postage would be on top of the price) One was £44.31 & the other £58.28. There was another which would be dispatched from the U.K. which was considerably more expensive at £126.00. Perhaps if you looked it up locally in South Africa you might find less expensive copies available. I do treat myself to the odd expensive book if I feel it will be of use. I use my copy on an almost daily basis....it actually lives next to my bed so I do consider it good value for money. Best wishes, Tombi Peck
