Besides the SE store, where else can you get FF XIV merch?

You can find some sellers on Amazon selling the import but its usually way more expensive than it should be.
Ebay is also another option.

There are also sites like J-list, Otaku.com, etc that sometimes get Square Enix Merchandise in stock or will take requests from their customers for certain items. Keep in mind they usually add a small fee to the item or sell items for slightly more than the e-shop charges.

I can tell you that 2 weeks ago I was in Akihabara and even they were sold out of the Peridot Carbuncles. The only ones remaining were Topaz Carbies. As for the book, that may be a little bit easier to come accross. For example through sellers on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/FINAL-FANTASY-...=Art+of+Eorzea

The shipping to Australia costs almost as much as double the actual item, unless you want it here by January. =l
