    This is what the zoo's website says about shipping

    International Shipping     is available to Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, South America, Spain, and United Kingdom only at this time. Customer is responsible for any and all Duty Charges at time of delivery.

    Whether this is on all items I don't know.

    The zoo will ship them - however they charge $75 dollars for the privilege. Amazon only charge $24 for standard international shipping. So it works out cheaper for international customers to buy them from Amazon despite the zoo still selling the books half price

    That is quite a difference.

    It's even more of a difference than that actually - I snapped up the last Amazon copy available last night and was charged only $7.30 for standard international shipping! :)

    I am paying 56.93 dollars in total which on the invoice works out as shipping and handling fee of £5.74 and in total £46.85. As mentioned previously it was out of stock when I first ordered but now should come by the 8th Dec.

    I have just ordered a copy . They say it is temporarily out of stock but will advise me as soon as it becomes available again , and will not charge until it is available . My Amazon UK account details were recognised which made ordering very easy . The total cost for me came to £47.65 .
