International Shipping FREE
International Shipping FREE
A major "how to get the books" resource is Book Depository in the UK, which ships books free world-wide (see the Country List). Okay, not to all countries, but most. For example, Vietnam and Thailand are NOT on the list. But China, Singapore, etc. are. And they're faster than Amazon (US or UK).
The beauty of Book Depository is that it's based in the UK and carries most US and many Australian titles. So you can expand your international titles for no extra shipping cost.
An oddity of Book Depository is that it ships every book individually (unless you order multiple copies of one title). This means on an order of 200 books, you will receive 200 padded envelopes (which you will recycle hopefully). This is a side benefit in some countries, e.g., Singapore, where small value shipments do not attract customs duty notice.
