They ship to the U.S.; why wouldn't they ship to Canada?

I didn't know they shipped to the US.

They do indeed, I've ordered from them many time, and will be doing so again soon for a copy of The Fractal Prince.

How are the shipping costs and the times?

[heron61.livejournal.com]

Shipping costs are about twice US Amazon, and times are between one and two weeks.

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.

They do, mostly, but you'll often find exceptions with sellers selling through the Marketplace section. In one case, I wanted the item so much, I e-mailed the seller and asked if he'd be willing to ship to the USA, and he made an exception; I was surprised.
