Swiss bookstore making big margin

Passing by a local Payot book store in Geneva I was
about to purchase a paperback from the States when I
took a second look at the price tag. An 8 USD book
was selling for 15.80CHF. I remember in the past when
the dollar was worth more that this was a common
price but now that the dollar has dropped so much in
value I was wondering where my savings was with this
imported book. Seeing that I was paying almost twice
the value of the book I finally put it back and
called a friend in the States to order it for me.
Even with shipping to Switzerland it would be cheaper
than buying it at Payot.
