The Bookaholics' Guide to Book Blogs: "Mark Thwaite ... has a maverick, independent mind"

Free shipping worldwide

I've just been working out all the places where The Book Depository delivers book for free and it really is worldwide.


Y'all probably know that we -- The Book Depository that is -- deliver to the UK, US and Canada for nothing, zero, zilch, zip. But shipping to "Western Europe" (which includes: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Vatican City and Liechtenstein) is also free.


Other free delivery destinations include: Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Singapore, the Bahamas, Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda and Trinidad & Tobago.

Unfortunately they seem to offer free delivery to 'non-dodgy' mail sorting cuntries, which pretty much rules out india, latin america, malaysia and russia. Oh well.

Betterworldbooks.com offers low worldwide shipping fee for 3.97 dollars each book, and you may find that some (brand new) books are much cheaper in price.

Sorry, but It's not true The book depository ships books for free worldwide. South america is not included, and, until where I know, we are in the world, for now.

The Quarrel

The word I spoke in anger
weighs less than a parsley seed,
but a road runs through it
that leads to my grave,
that bought-and-paid-for lot
on a salt-sprayed hill in Truro
where the scrub pines
overlook the bay.
Half-way I'm dead enough,
strayed from my own nature
and my fierce hold on life.
If I could cry, I'd cry,
but I'm too old to be
anybody's child.
Liebchen,
with whom should I quarrel
except in the hiss of love,
that harsh, irregular flame?
