However, from what some comments on the LUG indicate the International shipping costs are just shy of involuntary fornication. It was my goal to hold down costs for this to less than a Leica-branded 39MM UV filter (about $80 at the local shop). I can't do a thing about blurb.com's shipping charges. However, I can help somewhat on international shipping. SHIPPING OFFER FOR ALL THOSE OUTSIDE US For all those outside of the US who would like to purchase copies and have them shipped via the US Postal System, here's my offer: 1. Order your book(s)through blurb.com, but have them shipped to my home. My home address is available if you contact me OFFLINE at jshul@comcast.net 2. MAKE SURE THE PACKAGE INVOICE REFERENCES YOUR NAME! I don't want to play "guess the LUGger" when the books arrive. 3. I will contact you for your address outside of the US. Once I have that, I'll ship your book(s) via US Post Office. 4. Those who wish to pay for the US Post Office Fees can send me $$ via paypal, or buy dinner when I visit your country, or you mine. Whatever. In the future, this kind of service will probably become something truly based for local production. A book like ours would up uploaded to a service, and your local printing company (a business that had the capability of producing the books) would get the files and create the book. Virtually all of the professional printers are now offering digital printing, so adding the bindery stage would be a natural extension. Best, Jim Shulman Bryn Mawr, PA
