this is a great tip, thanks! i've been using amazon UK or
Canadian sources to get British titles but I never thought of
asking at the local bookstore. duh. i'll give it a
shot.
>In the UK, chain bookstores don't charge for customer
orders. They also
don't charge postage/shipping for overseas orders (primarily
because US wholesalers ship bulk orders for free). I don't
know if this is a reciprocal arrangement (in the UK, Borders
don't charge), but I see no reason why not. If so, you could
probably save a lot in postage by using your bookstore to
order the books for you.
