You can actually order the import of the limited set from the US site as well. It's cheaper than the UK site even since shipping is free.

It's not cheaper on the US site vs. UK site.

Amazon.co.uk takes the VAT off the 222 GBP so it was 188.91 GBP after shipping to the US = $291.78

Amazon from the US is $362.09.

Lois Wilson wrote several series of romance novels in the late 1960's. Her most popular was the Nurse Nancy series which Morrissey has purchased the rights to. It's going to be a series on the Lifetime channel starring Johnny Marr and Julia.
