Rip off Australian booksellers

What planet do these people live on with book prices in this country? Why certainly I'll buy William Gibson's new book from Angus & Robertson for $44.95 + postage when it's available from the US from $26.61 including postage.

I really was shocked, moving back to Australia, by how much books cost now. Sure, 10% can be blamed on GST but nearly double?
