Wow - This is amazing - the book arrived in the post this morning! It was quicker for your book to get from New York to New Zealand, than the two books I ordered from Australia at the same time! Many thanks for that - I know it was sent by cheapest post (at my request) but somewhere along the line I got lucky. Love the book by the way - and it arrived here in such perfect condition I could almost think no one has even touched it before...
My book arrived in record time (it shocked me when it arrived so soon after ordering) and was beautifully packaged. If it didn't go via DHL it would never have made it through the Australia Post system unscathed!!! Thank you!
