Ordering "The Pragmatic Programmer" and "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning" from Amazon (+shipping) totals at $77, as opposed to $86 on Combooks. Always compare :) Aviv 2009/7/15 Orna Agmon Ben-Yehuda <ladyp...@gmail.com<mailto:ladyp...@gmail.com>> Have you tried Combooks? I used to invite them to August Penguin to have a discounted sale of FOSS software (organizers - you might wish to do this again). http://www.combooks.co.il/Combooks_Il2/ Orna. 2009/7/15 Shlomo Dubrowin <dubrowin.l...@gmail.com<mailto:dubrowin.l...@gmail.com>> I live and work in the Jerusalem area. Generally, when I want Linux and/or other types of computer books (right now I'm learning Perl), I wait till we have family coming from the US and force them to bring the books to me here. I keep saying there must be a better way to get good books here in Israel. Is there a bookstore somewhere that already imports these kinds of books, or that can order them for me and deliver them to me via IL Post or where I can pick them up somewhere local in this part of the country? I have ordered books through a previous employer from Amazon.co.uk<http://Amazon.co.uk>, but I remember it being much more expensive than getting them in the US. What are your experiences. Thank you.
