Pricing: Australians often face higher prices when buying product in Australia that has been developed overseas. Our aim where possible, with the assistance of authors, is to provide world parity pricing. That is the prices of the books are set at the current exchange rate when listed, and if the price varies by more than a few percent because of exchange rate changes, the prices will be adjusted. All prices are listed in Australian dollars to ensure buyers are not charged the hidden exchange rate fee, often not stated anywhere, which adds around 6% to prices when buying from overseas using another currency.
