Nevermind. I'm really angry with the book industry. I'm not going to pay.
Sorry. Even if it means I have to pirate a book from John Green.

Nope. They don't sell books to Mexico either. At least e-books. If I want a print, I have to:
1.- Pay overpriced shipping
2.- Wait 1.5 months
3.- Pay overpriced taxes
4.- Enjoy?
Anyway, I got a friend who's going over there to buy me those books. :]

Shipping is detailed here. It's Amazon only, and they're the cheapest ones out there. And tax is 16% on the retail value + UPS brokerage fees which is about $7 USD. Give or take a bit. At least we're not like in Brazil. They get like 100% import taxes. |

Exactly ^that, but it's a really good point, and I was going to do it, but as I said, a friend is going to the States and I asked him to buy me that along with some videogames.
On that: We get retail VGs at 200% the US price. That's why I love Steam. It's one of the few things that don't discriminate you based on location.

That they won't let you buy it because they think you might pirate it. |
