Folks,
Since we first published AOE in 2005, we have never raised the prices on our products. That remains our policy and I do not expect it to change.
Since we first published AOE in 2005, we have always shipped to our US customers (actual end users) postage free Priority Mail. That remains our policy and I do not expect it to change.
Since we first published AOE in 2005, we have always absorbed half the cost of of International Priority Mail for our overseas customers. That remains our policy and I do not expect it to change.
BUT . . . because international postal rates have increased dramatically over the last few years, a revision is needed. We here at AOE will still absorb half the cost of international postage, but based on the new current rates as opposed to the old ones. Unfortunately, this will mean a few extra shekels out of your pocket. If you do order direct from us, I urge you to order two or not more than three books (with friends, perhaps?) as because I do ship flat rate, this will give you a bit more bang for your Euro. I plan for the new rate to go into effect March 1st.
I apologize this has to happen, but even though this is not a business that puts food on my table, I do want to make a few pocket coins to spend at the conventions and the like I attend.
Sorry for the inconvenience and I do appreciate your understanding.
Warmest regards,
/// BILL ///
