Powell's international

[nolly]

Am I the last to know, or among the first to discover that Powell's has an international warehouse, with far more reasonable shipping than ordering directly from the UK? I haven't explored extensively; I don't know if they get titles immediately upon release, what countries they stock books from, etc. I just know that a book that's been out for months in the UK, but won't be out here til January will be mine soon.

I'm definitely not in the know on the existence of Powell's UK warehouse, but I must seek it out with all due haste, since shipping from the UK is generally quite a lot cheaper than shipping from the US, given that I'm in Denmark and all.

I don't know exactly how it works; I just searched for the book on a whim, thinking maybe someone picked it up over there and sold it/traded it in, so they might have a used copy or something. It popped up, with "International Warehouse" as the location! I do recall seeing Eur-Eur, or something like that, in the shipping rate chart, though.
