Borders Australia is doing a promotion. If you buy The Ionia Sanction, they'll send you The Pericles Commission to go with it. Here's the promo, from their latest mailout:
I've linked the image to their promo page, if anyone's interested (you then have to click on the tab that says "A Hellenic Mystery"). By my rough calculation, that deal comes to

I found out about this when my sister forwarded the email to me! Something that

It's a bit like not knowing if the light goes out when you shut the fridge door. Things like this are a lovely reminder that there really is a machine in place getting books to people!
