Two words: "paperback" and "international".
It's about $20 that way [1].
Note that it is legal in the US for domestic sellers to import international editions to resell domestically, so for US people buying international editions does not necessarily mean actually buying directly from someone outside the US [2].
[2] There is, of course, nothing wrong with doing business with someone outside the US. It is just that if something goes wrong (book lost in shipment for example), it might be more difficult to resolve the issue satisfactorily if the seller is halfway around the world. The time zone difference could make talking to them difficult, as could language differences, and consumer protection provided by your credit card might only apply to domestic purchases.
