Thanks for the thought, nixie.

I just finished ordering the book, since in fact you can get it over here after all. I'm happy to buy books and support authors, when I can squeeze the money out of the budget (and the other person with his name on the bank account) which isn't as often as I would like.

My big concern is getting the book in time, since the vendor said it could take up to two weeks -- which in my experience can mean quite a bit longer. Sometimes I think media mail is required to grow its own little legs (and thumbs) and hitch-hike across the country.

I've had things arrive sooner from the UK than from places relatively nearby. It must have something to do with prevailing currents in the Atlantic Ocean -- the postal service tries to slow things down by just floating the books across, but once something hits that East Greenland current there's no stopping it!
