I want it.

BITS is one of those few publishers from whom I will buy material without looking at it first. They have not disappointed me in any of my purchases from them so far.

What else is in the pipe in the near future from BITS. As when I order, I usually use SJG which causes an arm & a leg for postage even though it is just a tiny thing.

Something weird is happening with USPS in regard to the rates of shipping to Canada, they seem way too high for neighbouring countries. Could others on the board compare what is the shipping costs for items between their country and a near neighbour? Use OANDA to figure out what is the exchange rate in Cnd$ & US$.

Actually I do alot of E-bay purchases for RPG products and it depends on the seller. I usually ask if it will fit in a Flat rate $7 USD Global Priority Envelope. Most "Gurps" size Books do...
We might be getting off topic (oops)

You could try Gnometrader.com and compare prices. But last time I checked they hadn't got the new BITS book in yet ...

Thanks for the new link, but it is the postage that usually kills us Canadians. For some reason it costs way more to send things here than anywhere else save Australia...then I just with Sea rates. Best thing for the UK is something called the Royal Bag but I don't think the US has something similar.

Still, US$4.00 for what I can send for Cnd$1.10 to the States or anywhere in the world using a conventional letter post albeit not disclosing that it is a piece of merchandise hardly seems like Fair Trade...but, the US has really clamped down (so, my dear American cousins, I would be happy to always do so but always at your peril). Thankfully, our dollars are approaching parity that makes this stuff more affordable again.
