Sadly, it's about right for shipping from the US. I had to pay ~$90 for a small package (read: paperwork) just last year. Furthermore, how will the book be shipped? Mail tends not get treated too well especially internationally. Will it be enclosed in a carton? I will probably opt out if $150 shipping is just a bag--yes I am still considering the purchase despite the cost
I have heard bad stories of overseas shipping/customs. I know a guy in Brazil who pays sometimes 150% the item's cost in shipping and customs for electronics and audio equipment. I know a girl in the Philippines, and a friend in California sent her some chocolate once -- the postal workers/customs officials ATE SOME OF IT before sending the package on to her.
