Cheapest place to get the Penny-arcade book set?

Living in Australia sometimes really blows. I'm trying to get the 4 Penny-arcade books, but am getting gouged by the official store. Comes to about 90 AUD with shipping. Yikes. Amazon comes up with about 77 AUD for all 4 with shipping. eBay doesn't help me either.

Is there some magical bookstore that has things cheap that I can order things from, from the US? All the bookstores here will take 6 weeks to get them in, and charge me 27.95 for each book, when they are 12.95 US at retail.

Thanks guys.

    Go to the library and see if they have them first. They are pretty short (2-3 hours to read) so I'd be hesitant about buying when you can borrow them for free and then return em. I dont know how libraries work in Australia though but if its anything like here you should be able to order from another branch if your local place doesnt have them.

    I;ve seen them at my local eb games and gamestop...might try there. Not sure if you have those in AU though.

    Thanks for the replies. I guarantee our library doesn't have them. I always go back and read the comics and have a laugh, that's why I wanted to buy them. I think I'd go through them a lot when I'm bored.

    We don't have Gamestop, but we have EB. They don't have them unfortunately :(. Thanks guys.

    If you PM Robert Khoo on the forums you could ask about what options PA can make available for Aussies.

    Odds are you're screwed, though.

    Hmm, 77 ish was the best I can find. Turns out about 19 dollars a book. Better than the 27.95 borders charged.
