For what it's worth, a quick exploration of my book collection* revealed the following:
Authors with books that put the full stop inside the quotes:
Stephen Fry, Umberto Eco, PG Wodehouse, Douglas Adams, Alan Coren, Bill Bryson, Terry Pratchett.
Authors with books that put the full stop outside the quotes:
Lynne Truss [you know, the populist poster-person for proper punctuation. And alliteration, it would appear
]
Obviously, however, one has to consider that publishers may typeset their books for the US market.
[* Yeah, I know: "Worst 'I read books, me' thread ever."]
