Also, the publisher has a history of deep discounts (100-dollar-plus books sold for around 25 dollars) during regular sale periods.

Are any Australian retailers (either online of brick-and-mortar places) selling the book at a lower price than the one listed on international sites such as the Book Depository?

mine arrived today. A very polished product, almost 500 pages. Now just need the time to read it!!
Be interested to know the logistics. It appears to be a ‘print on demand’ model, so even though it was ordered and billed through an EU company the delivery came from printers in Dandenong. Which probably explains the cheap/free postage as it’s just local post.

Was going to post something very similar - mine arrived yesterday.
Had a quick flick through, it is incredibly well researched and referenced (even found us in as a reference!)

I have access to the online version for free through my Uni and the amount of information in it, especially the names of programs, is just amazing. I’ve been compiling a list of programs produced at each tv studio and this is very useful indeed.
