I am still waiting for the subscription offer, because I like having all the PDF's- though it may be cheaper to buy the PDF sepeartely- that is sad.
A friend in Australia has said to order both the bestiary and the rules through Amazon costs about $91 but $175 through Paizo (these are Australian dollars)
Yeap that costing is correct.
You can also pay $98 Australian dollars and they will send them out to you separately when they become available.
At 91 dollars you have to wait for both books to be released.

Easy way: www.amazon.co.uk
Or probably: www.nobleknightgames.comNobleknight is US based, so 4 weeks of waiting for the package :)
Amazon... tends to be weird sometimes. You buy from UK one, and they end up shipping your book from Alaska for 6 weeks of transit time.
Nobleknight is very reliable. I used to order everything from them before I went Paizo ... Now I order everything from them that is NOT Paizo (significantly less than the Paizo stuff).
Their deliveries are trustworthy, and when they tell you 9to36 days to Europe, I more often get 5 days rather than 36 ...
And in some five years, they have only been late once. (Not even necessarily their fault - could be the notoriously inept French Post Office).
Did you ever consider that not everyone has one?
There's a difference between being cheap and overpaying for a book you have to wait longer to get, all the while wasting time driving to the store just to have some clueless clerk on the other side of the counter?
Yes, you are correct. If you don't have a FLGS you should not try supporting it.
I am talking about a Friendly Local Game Store. Not game stores that are run by jerks you don't like, staffed by clueless idiots. Not game stores in other countries. Not even just game stores in general, I'm talking about an actual FLGS. If you don't have one, then you have my sympathies and your fine. I don't even know why you'd assume I was even talking about you.
If the shop near you is not friendly, your fine in my book to show your distaint with your purchases elsewhere. That's part of capitalism. If it's too far away, then it's simply too far away and can't be helped.
If, however, you do have a shop that you frequent regularly that is a friendly place to gather and play games then personally I think you have an obligation in this hobby to actually make purchases from their store even if you have to pay a little more. Thus I say “Support your FLGS.”
A lot of folks seem to read FLGS as ANY gaming store. You can't expect others to read your mind and know that you meant the "friendly" part literally; every gamer I know refers to their local game shop as an FLGS, even the one I refuse to go to because the owner is a complete ass who probably eats kittens for breakfast.
Me, I'm lucky to live about a mile from a FLGS, and I'll be getting this book there; I have little use for a PDF version.
