A small book now will go for about US$30, but a larger one (but not a huge one), depending on weight, is something between US$40 and US$55. Sigh. Douglas A.

You must not have bought many books from the US in the last four or five years. The US postal service eliminated all cheap international rates, and since then everything must go airmail. The rates are very high, and they've killed most of the book trade outgoing from the US. That's a fact. Douglas A.
