The Bookaholics: Book Pricing Problems

I'm planning to buy more books once I get enough money. Books priced $17.00 may be normal for US/Canada residents, but in Asian countries, these books cost nearly RM 40 or more, which is approximately my one-month pocket money. I think that's too expensive. I only get to buy books once or twice every year with my savings.
