it was book called angels of albion women of the indian mutiny i wanted it as i think my g.g.g aunt is mention in it i hope if not will read it anyway,it says paperback new

well when you consider the cost of a simple letter in the UK, £2 does not sound excessive to me for a book

hi Ann it was 14pound in total the book cost 6 pound and 8 pound on top to send i just thought it was bit muchDutch

I don't think that is excessive. I often send small packages to USA, and it can easily cost that for a small box of chocolates, etc. (At Christmas it cost me more for the postage than the chocs!)

I recently paid £20 for a book and another £20 for the postage from Australia. The book was hardbacked and quite heavy. Well worth it I thought as I couldn't get a copy here in the UK.

If we were sending to Australia from here - there is a postal rate for printed packages, ie books. Dont know if Australia has the same thing.

But books are heavy and airmail expensive - you could always ask how much it would cost to send via overland/ship - but that would take 6-8 weeks to get here.

thank you everyone just didnt no if it was right but seeing your replys it seems ok and anyway i wanted the book the lady said one to two weeks so i,ll get it next week and if the information is is it will be money well spent
