Gary,
I have the order form infront of me but it has no email address. The book
costs $66 Australian and they accept bankcard, mastercard and visa but says
must be in Australian dollars and drawn on Australian Bank. Should not be
an expensive problem as our dollar is at an all time low thanks to the
strength of the US economy.

Cheers
Dave
