Somone prepared to buy and send me a book?

I don't know how I missed it till now, but the Programming the Propeller with Spin: A Beginner's Guide to Parallel Processing has been released.

Only problem is that freight to Australia is Close to USD$80. Ouch.

I can get it from Amazon or Book Depository for less frieght, BUT would someone be prepared to buy on and ship it to me by 'normal' cost effective US post?. I WILL PAY.


Thanks in advance..

Paul

    Amazon can't (or won't) ship post to Australia? Surely Parallax can.

    Pacman,

    Through Amazon, the standard shipping rate for that book from any of the resellers that ship internationally (including Book Depository) is US$12.49. I don't think you'd get it very much cheaper doing it any other way.

    Ross.

    @ RossH and Timmothy,

    Yes Amazon will ship to Aust (but I must have hit the wrong button and originally freight was showing as $40.) Much more better now. Thanks to RossH I think I can now even afford shipping....

    @ElectricEye

    You know I never even though to check eBay, I mean why would anyone actually be selling one on eBay? It's not like they bought it and decided it's wasn't any good. I didn't even consider that sellers on ebay might actually sell a new copy...


    Huge Thanks guys.
