Sounds like a book I will get, not just yet since the price is a little high
here in Sweden. Perhaps I can get it via Amazon UK (cheaper shipping) for less.
Nope, that would be $48 plus shipping so it's about the same :(
Aha! I can get it for $37 from amazon.com including shipping! That's 281 SEK for
the Swedish readers.
Är det någon som blir med på ett samköp till SweLUG#5?

I'm sure it is!
Once again, congratulations!

Ja, till det priset tvekar jag inte. Skriv upp mig! Frågan är väl hur lång
leveranstid det blir...
(Maila mig ett bankkontonummer om du behöver pengar direkt)

Enligt Amazon för två (2) ex.;
Standard International Shipping (averages 11-18 days) $13.47
Expedited International Shipping (averages 5-10 business days) $18.47
Priority International Courier averages 2-4 days $41.97
Med tanke på att det bara är 10 arbetsdagardagar kvar till SweLUG så lär bli
alternativ nummer två.
Beställer i eftermiddag om fler vill hänga på!

Hey, you're welcome!
AFAIK we Swedes have now ordered three copies, not bad considering we're but a
handful of AFOL's!
