Yes, that might well be the title. I'd have to check
at home, and I confess I'm not quite sure what
bookshelf those books are in now.  This means it's
time to sort my books again.

I had to search a long time for Skypirate, but
eventually I found it.

I have similar problems with amazon.com. Amazon.ca is
wonderful but hasn't the same selection, and almost
all the second-hand books listed there are listed by
American sellers, which makes them little better than
the American dealers for postage/customs/taxes, except
that it's at least an indication that they are willing
to ship to Canada if one throws them lots of money.

Fun, isn't it?  Sadly, I have no idea how to make
"Lord of the Storm" turn up for you in New Zealand.

namaste,
