When Blurb books first became known to me with the 2006 yearbook, the postage rates were very high to Australia also. Since then our orders come from Europe and the rates are more reasonable. It sounds like your orders would come from the US? Why don't you drop Steve a line? I think that you may be able to buy one direct from him. Worth asking anyway. Steve will be able to claim readers on another continent. I think he has USA, Europe and Australia so far.

Maybe I'd have to make them ship to a friend of mine somewhere else and see what/when/how to forward those good books to me or just wait until I can pick them up. Some day.
