But being the _only_ distribution channel? Probably not the best!

It's not even available on the international Amazon websites. If you want the physical book, the only option seems to be to pay the extra shipping costs and import taxes to get it shipped from the US. Hopefully this is just temporary.

Seems to be available on the Australian site (albeit shipped from the US). I usually just find something else to buy to reach the $49 free shipping threshold.
