Inflation Will Drive Me Crazy
Today i went to "Alef Book Store" to search for a book called "5 People You Meet In Heaven" written by
"Mitch Albom" i found the book it was nearer to a booklet than a real book its are was about "3X6" CM
When i looked at the attached price on the back i was shocked its price was 77 EGP which expensive for a book like that, But when i started deeply analyzing the situation, I figured out that this book was imported from USA distributors & then comes to Egyptian distributors who distributes the book on the book stores to reach the end user which is me.
So if the book price is 2$ in USA when it goes this long path to reach my poor hands its price would at least be tripled which would be equal to 8$ ,Given that Dreadful fact that 1$=7 EGP , Therefore it is very logic for the book price to be 77 EGP !
That's why i put the book back into the shelf and walked outside the Book Store :)
