Hi Gooner,

Sorry I don't have your books, but just wanted to make an observation about amazon. A few months ago I was in the US and thought I might take the chance to buy some books. The books I was looking for were quite heavy and also quite expensive ($30-$50). I realised that instead of buying them in the store in the US it would actually be cheaper (including shipping!) and more convenient to order from amazon and have them shipped to CH by priority courier (2 - 4 days). The last lot of books arrived in 2 days - faster than you could order it in CH even if they were in stock! Books in CH tend to retail well above the US retail price (just as books in the UK retail well above the US retail price!) so with this in mind, combined with the usual 30% discount that amazon gives it's hard to get them anywhere else :-)

Often I also see if I can download the books as PDF or audio books on the net (emule or bittorrent), if the book looks good then I go and order it on amazon. I found 2 of the 3 titles you were looking for and queued them for downloading, if you want them, give me a shout.
