Which brings up the problem of exactly how many copies you have to have 
sales for in the other country to make it worthwhile, ignoring for the 
moment any profit for the agent and the obscene amounts charged by freight 
forwarders for brokerage, customs clearance at each end, insurance, freight 
etc, all of which are going to go on to the retail price at destination
