-Actually I live in Chun-Chon Korea (about 2 hours east of Seoul.)  And I 
think ya all is goin' about buyin' these books the wrong way.  I figured it 
up the other day and Hexarcana cost me $21.00 and Urban Renewal ran about 
$15.33.  So I'm paying just over the cover price and that's including the 
shipping.
So ya wanna know my secret?  Well then drop me a line (privately,) cuz I'm 
not gonna post it on the list, (I could get sued, I think.)
Oh yeah, one last thing, I am an American citizen and I'm not sure if it 
would work as well for Non-Americans, (Being as how the US Dollar is so 
strong that the exchange rate is right in the toilet.) but it probably would 
save ya some money.
Drop me a line,
Gus
