Default Books in Europe

I wanted to order a couple of books from 2+2 but the shipping cost overseas was getting close to the price of the books themselves.
Does anyone know if it is possible to buy from a European source?

When I check the internet bookstores they do deliveries from great britain, germany, among others. Many poker books are also available in most bookstores today since it has become so big, however in the stores they cost a lot more so better buy it on the internet. That said, you should be able to find them in europe and not too far from wherever you live. Try scouting the internet.

Amazon and High Stakes booksop for the UK, high stakes can be a bit more expensive sometimes.

With the exchange rate I have found that sometimes getting the books off Amazon and paying for shipping still works out cheaper than for european sources, although it takes slightly longer to get to you.

Ebay somtimes has some books so can be worth checking as well.

MAy be easier if you clarify your country.

If you do not have to pay VAT (look for local regulations for limit from which sum VAT is applied), shopping from amazon.com is usually the best option if you buy more than 2 books.

Expedited International Shipping(means. air mail) option takes usually less than 2 weeks to deliver.

Standard International Shipping can take up to 4-6 weeks.

I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Amazon is perfect. Especially pricewise.

In my experience I also get the books rather quick to, always around of the beginning of the period they state.
