Re: How heavy is SSHE?
Not that it matters, but the book weighs 1 lb., 6 oz. I have a postal scale, and am familiar with rates, including international.
The best way to ship a book, or any thing of a similar size, internationally is USPS Global Priority Mail Flat Rate. There are two envelope sizes, and the rate is the same for whatever fits in an envelope, regardless of weight. The small one costs $5.00 and the large one costs $9.00 for 4-6 day delivery anyplace in the world. I don't have any small envelopes here to try, but I doubt the book would fit in one. It definitely fits in the large one, so it's $9.00 postage. The alternative is Economy Mail which is $6.30 for 4-6 week delivery.
There are other expenses in shipping, including labor and materials, so I would expect to pay at least $10-12 for that kind of shipping. Many book sellers discount the book and make up for it by marking up the shipping and handling. In shopping around, look at the total cost.
