[FS] Shipping Costs Disaster

Lulu,our printer and distributor, has increased shipping prices withoutwarning. That would normally not have been a problem, but the pricingincrease is so extreme (EUR 70 per book just for shipping!) that wefirst thought it was a bug. Sadly, it isn\'t, although we don\'tunderstand this new pricing policy--especially since it is coupled witha general increase in production prices.At the moment, onlyhardcover books shipped to outside the US are affected, as they are theonly ones that are manufactured in the US (softcovers are done in otherinternatinal facilities, and thus remain cheap). Of course, a big chunkof our customers is from Europe wanting hardcovers, which is what makesthe situation so bad.We are terribly sorry about theinconvenience! RedBrick isn\'t the only company affected, and Lulu iscurrently getting a lot of negative response to this. We hope they comeup with a solution very soon. At the same time, we are looking foralternative ways to get our books printed and distributed.
