Adding another $4.99 per shipment and the fact that books from amazon gets here in 1.5-2 months this gets really outrageous. I am currently investigating both http://www.chessco.com and http://www.thechesshouse.com as they seem to have reasonable shipping prices. I also found some books with $4-$5 cheaper than amazon's price (and that without adding that extra ridiculous price per book!). Andrei
