Huw and all,
Good news!
I found the book at amazon.co.jp by searching on the ISBN number with no dashes.
http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/books/4594039979/250-7600683-8886609#product-details
It looks very cool! Quoting their shipping policies:
"Amazon.co.jp can ship to virtually any address in the world. Orders placed at
Amazon.co.jp will be shipped from Ichikawa, Japan, and may not be combined with
orders placed at any other Amazon sites. For more information, click the links
to the left."
Price: 2,381 JPY = 19.84 USD/17.63 EUR/12.36GBP
International Economy Shipping:
North America 1,200 JPY + 300 JPY/item
Europe 1,450 JPY + 300 JPY/item
International Economy shipments are sent by sea mail.
They typically take 2 to 3 weeks to the United States,
3 to 4 weeks to Asia and Europe
Should be pretty close to:
32.34 USD total shipped to United States
45.15 CAD total shipped to Canada
21.45 GBP total shipped to the United Kingdom
30.59 EUR total shipped to Europe
Maybe Santa will bring me one this year :)
