    From Peter Fairbrother@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 5 18:36:35 2018
    (Hi LLoyd)

    I am in the UK, and want to buy a copy of Lloyd's book Ball Milling
    Theory and Practice for the Amateur Pyrotechnician. Amazon UK want £68
    ($88) a copy!!!

    So I tried several US pyro sites - pyrodirect, AFN etc. None worked,
    probably because I am in the UK not the US, and their online shops are
    more focussed on chemicals etc, which are a pain to ship internationally.

    Anybody got any ideas which might help? Ta.

    Lloyd or someone else might stick a copy in an envelope, and mail it "First-Class Mail International", or possibly "Priority Mail International® 6-10
    Business Days" for ~$25.

    So sorry for posting so late to this. I've been on a barn roof for two
    weeks!

    Yes. Contact me by PM, and I will be glad to ship you a copy, for (say)
    $15 USD beyond what the postage would cost. That covers my cost for the
    copy and whatever is the postage.

    Yours,
    Lloyd

    And Lloyd has kindly sent me a copy, arrived today. Well worth the money (mostly exorbitant postal charges) (and the wait).


    Note that US postage charges are about 5 or 6 times UK charges for the
    same packet but going in the other direction. You Americans don't seem
    to get good value from your postal service.


    Thanks Lloyd!
