I haven't been following this thread, but I can toss in a comment about 
postal rates.  To send a copy of my book to Italy is $18.00 by surface 
mail and $44.00 airmail - for a $40.00 book!  That includes a 'fuel 
surcharge' since the posties were denied an increase by the government 
and decided to end-run the rules.  Basically, mail order is being killed 
by greedy and inefficient postal services.  Sometimes, couriers are cheaper.
