Thanks for your offer, but i just talked yesterday with a friend about
those books.
I remembered he buyed his laptop in the US (it was WAY cheaper there, the
same device),
His sister lives in NY and occassionaly visits her family...
He sayd it would be no problem to order some books for me and his sister
can bring
them here just like the laptop...

This way it will take some month, until his sister is going to come for a
visit again, but that is no problem for me...

Anyways.. country would be Austria - what do you estimate shipping would
cost (for the 7 book metalworking shop series)? If it is not too much i may
think about it..

My last "order from the US" experience was not so good...
total cost for ~$20 printer replacement parts was about $120... with
customs and all..
I needed the parts, and they were worth it... since then i avoided orders
from overseas...
