Getting M&D Overseas...Amazing.com!

Amazon.com is...Amazing!  F.Y.I. I got an e-mail today saying M&D has  already been shipped to me (advance-ordered a couple of months ago). Total cost, including airmail to Australia, was $US 37.70 (about 50 Australian bucks). Not so bad, considering what books cost here anyway.  So take heart!

I'm so ecstatic I just had to announce it:

Picked up my copy from MediaPlay at about 2:30 PM EST, 30 April 97.  This
particular store only got in 5 copies.

More seriously, those of you who are having problems getting M&D in places
other than the US and UK (e.g. Craig in South Africa and Umberto in Italy)
...won't Amazon.com, Henry Holt, or any bookstores in the US or UK ship
you a copy?  Granted, you'd have to pay a hefty shipping charge, but if it
means getting a copy in the forseeable future, might it not be worth it?
But then again, I've no idea what it might cost to ship this Thing.
