More reasons why Great Britian is just cool

[charliesmum]

I ordered HP&THBP from Amazon.co.uk because I wanted the British version, and today I got an automated email :Dear Customer,

We are writing to you regarding your order for "Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter 6)".

At Amazon.co.uk, we are always looking for ways to bring value to our

These changes may not be reflected immediately.

Please note that the book will not fit through a standard letter box,
so keep an eye out for our delivery owls.

Warmest regards,

I mean, how cool is that? They use the term delivery owls! And mention You-Know-Who! And cut the price! (I have no idea how much £8.99 is in American money - will have to find a conversion table and see if I'm saving any money at all.)

And since I didn't order the American book, I have no idea if the American Amazon is as cool. It might be. But I doubt it.

And I have boring weekend things I will share with you all at a later date. Right now I am trying to simultanously catch up with a weekend's worth of LJ and also do some actual work.

ETA: If anyone cares, the £8.99 comes to about $16.99 USD Which is not a bad price.
