James,
     If I ever do I will. I understand about not wanting to reveal any=20
more than you have. Even here there might be some nut cases. Here in the=20
states it runs about $5 for the books up to about the first three or=20
four pounds after that just add a dollar for each additional pound. It=20
is called media rate and it is great. Books, manuals, software, videos,=20
music. Anything along that line.
Thanks,
rich!
P.S. All things are relative. At the north pole all directions are South=20
and vice-a-versa.
rich!
