Lilia,

Since it's a book, a customs form (with a stated value) is required, but I'll use the wholesale cost, rather than retail value, so that should minimize any customs and VAT charges. If you will send me either a PM or an email with your mailing address, I'll print an International Priority Mail label and mail it tomorrow. You can send me a PM or an email by clicking on either the "pm" or "email" button at the bottom of this message.

Thanks,
Tex

I'm not sure how I do this. I clicked the "pm/two people" button, wrote my message, and clicked "submit".

Hi Lilia,

You did it correctly. The "two people pm" icon simply means "person to person private message". I'll send it first thing Monday Morning.

Thanks,
Tex

Lilia,

The customs form requires both of our phone numbers. Can you PM me your phone number so that I can complete the forms?

Thanks,

Tex

Tex, I must have been asleep or something.... I didn't realize your book came out in October! I'm looking forward to reading it.
Glad I checked this post. :grin:

Hi Carol,

I'm in the process of revising it to hopefully make it a bit easier to read. You shouldn't have any problem reading it and understanding it, however.

I've been told that it contains too many medical terms, so I'm trying to add more explanations in various locations where they might be helpful. I was under the impression that there's nothing wrong with using medical terms, as long as they're explained in simple language. Am I wrong? I was told that it contains too many medical terms by a friend who teaches in a local high school.

The basic material will be unchanged, but in certain places there will be words, phrases, sentences, or even paragraphs added. It will probably take me at least 2 or 3 more months to finish revising it.
