total (currently US$176.98/EUR149.07/GBP127.82 at the time of posting this
listing) including postage and handling to anywhere in the world (but not, of
course, any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries).

the shoreline, please contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will
send you a PayPal invoice to make the payment easy.
