I am in Australia, but happy to post world wide, if someone is willing to reciprocate by mailing me a FS book that I want. Please send me a PM if you are interested.

Aug 8, , Hey there, This one is not a FS book, but I would like to maybe trade it for one. The book was made by the Book Club of Texas. It's letterpress printed in more than one color and illustrated by Ben Sargent, a Pulitzer winning cartoonist. The limitation for the book was copies.
The cost for non-members is 75 dollars but here in Portugal with shipping it ended up costing me around 90 euros. Here are some pictures of the book. I live in Austin--Ben Sargent is a well-loved personality here unfortunately, he retired from being an editorial cartoonist some time ago and the Austin American Statesman has been going downhill ever since.
