When I ordered Blue Remembered Earth, the total cost including shipping was only about two bucks more than if I'd bought it on Amazon.com and it took about two weeks to cross the Atlantic (which still put it three months ahead of the American publication).
Would it have been more cost effective to get the British edition from a Canadian source?
The problem with the book I am looking for is it is British, cannot survive translation into American [1] and is not imported into Canada for some reason.
1: It's a cook book. Apparently the standard for conversions from weight-based recipes as used in the UK to volume-based as used in the US is of the "nobody really cooks; they're buying the name on the spine, not the recipes themselves" level.
