Just discovered how naive I was.
Amazon charges $4.99 extra charges for international deliveries _per book_ (!).
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!).
