At the risk of sounding condescending, which I don't want to be...
You could receive the book through the appropriate channels in days.
However, it would also be close to twice as expensive. Shipping a large
amount of small items by air is expensive, and that expense gets passed
on
to us, the consumer. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm happy to
wait longer for something if it's less expensive (just ask the PC shop
that's ordering my Zip Plus drive for me - damn things are like hen's
teeth
in Australia at a good price!)
I don't know if its been investigated (and don't know if it's cost
worthy)
but I go back to the thread that ran a while ago: performing print runs
separately at the major market points makes sure that both ends have
what
they want. As I said however, it would have to be cost effective.
