I'm pretty sure books are not taxed, so you shouldn't have to pay anything other than shipping

Most Books are zero rated (the only exceptions are those books that come with other items, such as CD's - such as Computer books - on which tax is levyable as far as I understand it) so you should be able to buy as much as you like - as long as you can afford the shipping charges!

If the goods are marked as merchandise (very likely) you will have to pay customs duty, and possibly a handiling charge. Fees start after the first £18/$36, so you'd be looking at import duty on about $15.

To expand on my earlier post; According to the HMRC website Books are Zero rated for Excise duty and Zero Rated in most cases for VAT.
