sulking now.

Have been drooling over Dolls’ House Needlecrafts: Over 250 Projects in 1/12 Scale on amazon, and Lily’s come around tonight and told me that the author concerned is well worth reading, so I looked on amazon.com and saw it for $20. Even with shipping at nearly $10 that’s still way cheaper than I can buy it direct in the UK, so I placed it in my basket and went to buy it. And was told that there were geographical restrictions 🙁

So I’ve looked on Abe and the cheapest in this country is £35, while there are loads of cheap copies in the states, but Abe shipping from the states is about £20 🙁 and :rant:

Miffed now. It’s grossly unfair. And I *want* it!

    can’t you find someone on one of your lists in teh US who can buy it for you then ship it on? Would still work out cheaper even with paying “double postage”

  2. I have a friend in MN that ships stuff over for me from Knitpicks every so often – she’d be happy to receive and forward the book 🙂
