Ordering the Bentley; RE: New to List
Hey Murray..
I actually ordered mine from Barnes & Noble's online bookstore. They had
the best price by far that I could find.
http://www.barnesandnoble.com $41.96
I would suggest comparing prices between them and Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com $59.95
I went with B&N :-)
I guess they can ship to Canada, but I don't really understand the
international shipping stuff.
Good Luck!
