Thanks for the tip!  Unfortunately, following the links to the sellers
(not Amazon itself, but one of the shops that sells used books through
them) ends up with a "We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to the 
address you've selected" when I try to have it shipped to Italy.
Fortunately, I do have friends in the US willing to receive stuff for
me and mail it here.  However, once again I find myself wishing for
FAR more globalization than actually seems to have occurred so far...;-)
