Hi, I would like to buy this book : http://senseis.xmp.net/?WeiqiLifeAndDeath1000Problems
but the only place I've found it is Yellow Mountain Imports website, and buying it from them costs 40$ (20$ book and 20$ shipping to Europe). Isn't there any cheaper way to obtain it?

From Amazon.cn it's about GBP 2.20 + postage & packaging. Of course you have to deal with the language barrier.

edit: and it might not be in stock for all I know!

It's a great book. I live in China and most large bookstores carry it, only 30 RMB ($4.50). Sucks that it's so difficult to get overseas.

I don't think sellers from Amazon.cn generally ship overseas. It's pretty hard to pay to, since they only except Chinese forms of payment Yah, but In china the book is widely available for really cheap. Most weiqi books are 3 Us dollars to 5 US dollars.
