I almost forgot, on the (US) Amazon page for Virtual LEGO, you can buy the two books together for a discount: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1886411948/qid=1066232517/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-7284602-4697519?v=glance&s=books. Not sure if this offer is good for Australia.

Actually, this isn’t true, and is a very good example of deceptive advertising on Amazon’s part. Add up Amazon’s price for the two books individually, and you get the same price they list there. The “discount” is off the standard list price, and you get it whether you buy both books or just one. This seems to be standard practice at Amazon, so please don’t be fooled.
