Draw Breath

How strange. I set up a Google Alert thingy last week for any news on Irish Credit Unions. So, I get an alert this morning telling me about Hyndman et al's Accountability: A Study of Credit Unions.

Now, this book is available directly from Oak Tree Press for €45, including shipping. It's available for £31 from Amazon (including their £1.99 sourcing fee), which is about €46, or for £18.99/€27 incl postage from one of their marketplace sellers.

But the page Google directed me to belongs to some group in the Guinness Enterprise Centre in Dublin called Research and Markets. They sell the book for the same price as Oak Tree Press: €40. What I find intriguing, though, is the €50 'handling and shipping fee.'

I dare not ask what sort of handling the book would receive but I assume it involves tongues.
