Calling all my UK/Canadian peeps. Heck, anyone who can help me find these books!

 I am searching for a set of books that don't seem to be very available in the US.

Hmmm. Let me sum up:

World's Best Nephew, who is not fond of reading (which makes me wonder if he is related to me), did actually love one book series I picked up for him over the years at various library book sales: the "Adventure" books by Willard Price. The ones I bought him have disintegrated/disappeared over time. I'd like to get him another set.

He's graduating high school, you see. I want to get him something he'll appreciate and will make him smile. (He is used to odd presents from me, and has told me he'd rather have them than "something boring".)

They seem to be pretty widely available in the UK/Canada. If anyone has seen a large clump of them for a reasonable price (or heck, all of them), I'd be happy to PayPal you and pay for shipping, or send you the Trade Goods of your choice from Austin, Texas. Yes, they're mostly available on amazon.co.uk or amazon.ca, but the shipping! Plus, I'd rather support someone's local bookshop if I can.

He graduates May 31.

Did you actually price out shipping from amazon.co.uk? I thought it would be extremely pricey too but I need a router that runs on European current for a trip to Morocco this summer, infact this post reminded me of that so I went to check out the price. Shipping was 6 pounds 99pence which I thought was pretty reasonable. I dont know if book are more expensive and I was only shipping the NYC so that may have effected the price. but this is just an FYI to think about if no one else can help you.

Trouble is, I want to just get all of them in one batch, which so far doesn't seem possible, and the shipping on individual books gets really crazy.
