Note that DHL shipping is always expensive. That's their price.It's fast
and it is two day air mail. It has to be kind of blamed to ourselves
that we didn't negotiate that beforehand.

Don't be so harsh :-) The price we payed ($ 33.00 vs. $ 48.00 single list
price) is OK. I asked at my local book store and their price would have
been more than DM 110,-- (at least they said, more likely more).
Paying around DM 80,-- (including shipping within Europe) is OK.

Again, for the future, say, BSD 4.5 (:-) we should think of 
better shipping modalities.
