Footy's bible - AFL 2004 on sale again

I saw that headline on afl.com.au and I was sooo excited. I love that book and have purchased it every year. However, it has never been an easy task, since I live in Sydney and this book doesn't cross the Murray as quickly as we would like.

So each year, I try to work out ways to buy it -- via mailorder, or I beg my sister to get for me and send it up, or I beg my work colleagues in Melbourne. I even aranged a work trip to Melbourne so that I could buy it when I was down there. I tell you, it isn't easy!

I go to online retailers like Dymocks or Angus & Robertsons or Collins Bookstore and they dont even have it listed! At least QBDBookstore has a listing but they arent shipping until March! I have even tracked down the book on the publishers website, because I know it's ISBN number 0958030057, but still I can't buy it.

Argghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is wrong with the country when a fellow can't even buy a stinking book when he wants one!!!!!
