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.)
>From my limited understanding of foreign affairs, I believe that Sweden has
one of the highest taxes in the world, between 25-40%. I think their sales
tax alone is near 25%. This is to pay for all their socialisitc benefits
(Don't get me wrong. I love socialists. I love you all equally) that the
government provides: health care, free Ph.Ds, etc.
$44 seems like an awful lot to pay for any RPG book, but I would recommend
PoMoMa as one of the best of the limited UA catalog (right up there with
Stratosphere). If you already love UA, how could you not get it?
