[UA] Holy Christ!

[John Nephew]

Like Tynes said.

Remember some key points:

* The US price does not include sales tax/GST/VAT or what have you.
Depending on the country, this can represent as much as 20% of the price you
pay in a store.  (US sales taxes are charged on a local level, if at all;
it's 1/2% less up here in Roseville at the Atlas offices, for instance, than
a few miles away at my house in Saint Paul proper.)

* Overseas distributors and retailers have to mark up from a higher price,
due to the costs of shipping, customs, etc.

* The dollar has been REALLY strong lately, though maybe this doesn't affect
Sweden as much.  (Sweden isn't part of the Euro, is it?)

>From visiting Europe, I noticed it's not unusual for the retail price in
stores to be nearly 2 X the US retail price.  For a monster book like
PoMoMa, $44 then is not too surprising.  How much is the UA core rulebook?
(In English, the UA rulebook is $25...just $1 more than PoMoMa.  So if
ratios hold, it should be about $46.)
