I'm the only Nuts & Volts distributor out side of North America. Have a look at: http://www.nutsvolts.com/nutsdist.htm and http://www.dontronics.com/nuts.html Unless you are prepared to gamble on high Air Mail costs in the hope of selling the magazines to promised sources, I suggest you contact the large distribution houses for possible import of selected magazines, or suscribe directly. International Air Mail of books and magazines is expensive. If you surface ship them fine, but expect to wait 2 to 3 months for delivery. I got involved because I wanted these magazines myself, so I started importing. Perhaps the logical answer is to print the magazines in Europe under an agreement, or sell a color PDF file and let readers print their own. Now that's something to think about. Hard copy is still nice at the breakfast table. :-) Don McKenzie mailto:don@dontronics.com http://www.dontronics.com Don's Download Dungeon http://www.dontronics.com/download.html DonTronics Logo Design Contest http://www.dontronics.com/logo.html For more details, send a blank message to mailto:info@dontronics.com or mailto:simstick@dontronics.com or mailto:basics@dontronics.com
