Unicode 7.0 Paperback Available (correction)

[Pierpaolo Bernardi]

In May 2012 1 USD = 0.78 EUR, and the 6.1 book cost me (all included) US$ 33.24

Today, 1USD = 0.86 EUR, Lulu does not show me prices in USD, only in
EUR, and asks me 64.56 EUR, for the 7.0 books, using the same shipping
method.

The difference in exchange rates does not explain this.

The 2012 price breaks down in this way:

Subtotale $15.96
Spedizione $13.75
IVA: $3.53
Totale $33.24

Today they ask me for the two books:

Subtotale: €22.20
Spedizione: €33.99
IVA: €8,37
Totale: €64.56
