Thanks...I ordered the Solaris from the UK, they had some other titles I wanted, too.
I usually use bookfinder4u, which also searches abebooks, but I just put in 'Stanislaw,' and missed the items in Quebec! What a chauvinist I am! The bibliography is a great help, too.
You would think that shipping from Canada would be less expensive, but it's about the same--it is still an air mail rate; for some reason, I cannot request a ground shipping rate or UPS from Canada. Also, books seem to be more expensive up there even though the Canadian dollar is cheaper. In fact, it costs me less to buy books from amazon.fr than from amazon.ca, shipping included. I guess they are too cold up there and got mixed up.
Thanks,
AFK
