Doing some Christmas shopping preparations I was browsing for a book for a friend of mine. Amazon.fr has it, and claims to match UK prices:

Doublechecking before ordering, it appears Amazon has some systems integration issues. Not only does amazon.co.uk offer a 40% discount off the recommended retail price (fair enough to target price discounts in different markets), but they're citing a lower "before" price, making amazon.fr's offer seem very unattractive indeed...

Even after paying shipping to France, amazon.co.uk is way cheaper...
