Buying the C++11 Standard (ISO/IEC 14882:2011) from an Authorized Body

I am contemplating on getting ISO/IEC 14882:2011 from an Authorized body in a legal way, not by downloading any pirated copy.

I am confused by the fact that at ansi.org they charge only $30.00 whereas iso.org charges 238 Swiss Frank (=$240)!

Since both ISO and ANSI are authorized bodies, should I ignore the pricing discrepancy? Please suggest. Thanks.

You can get the current draft for free, legally. It is even more up to date than the published standard :)

Yes, you can ignore the pricing discrepancy. Both are official sources.
