Probably that they include an insurance in the shipping.
Yes and due to exchange rates my 51USD order became 39 Euros ... the price of 2 of the 3 ordered books if I buy them in France.
Due to the lack of interest in the game from many a shop I found it the better option.
If more shops would care about ordering it maybe ... but if your shop order it from US you'll pay shipping and their increase anyway.
I would say that what hurt me most was the 4 weeks delay in getting the books.

I made enquiries because of the high shipping cost from Warehouse 23
and told someone was *looking into it*. I purchase regularly from
ebay, sometimes from the USA and pay a third of what Warehouse 23
charge for shipping.
I don't know if they have sorted that out. Anyone bought anything
from them recently? (last 4 months)
