Love The Outback

Look on website “Leading Edge Books”
No one could beat their prices for revise addition of Great Desert Tracks
Maps including folder I paid $ 67,~ no delivery charges when ordered and
picked-up in one of their subsidiary shops in your area (you found on top in website). Other books are good prices as well.

GOOD LUCK

One of my personal mottos:
I’m not the rich person, so I can’t afford to buy cheep things.
But if I can get top quality things cheaper, I will go that extra mile.

Maybe Love The Outback doesnt realise that Exploroz sells books and maps through the shop, but if they do, then its a bit cheeky putting such a post on this site.

I agree (rude almost) and went to the advertised site to find the price of $79 + $6.95 for delivery and with a description of this:

This title will be ordered from the publisher and the publishers stock status is unknown. We will place the order with the publisher and advise you when shipped.

Looks a lot like an advert for the company!

Hi David and ExplorOz team Sorry, I can't help it, I have docket to prove this discounted price. The book store may put there price up for this particular maps folder since 2 weeks ago, to match others.
I never regard any truth to be rude, even if the truth it's uncomfortable to me.
Yes definitely it is good to bring this issue to your attention. I'm not saying you rip of people!, but I would ask few questions to your distributor.
One more think, I'm not any way involved in sales of books, maps or any other kind of this products.

1 cheap book does not compete with the "over all value for money" and complete trip planning advice a comprehensive resource like exploroz provides. Some times cheaper is not always better

Cheers Stefan

Yes Stefan
I totally agree with you, but this is not about a trips and all that comes with it including being a member of ExplorOz.
This is about purchasing a maps and literature for best value for the money only.
