Dear Joris,

Thank you for your suggestions.

Finally, I placed the order. If the quality is there, it's worth it.
In addition, the fact that the excellent TexMacs is completely free largely offsets the cost of acquiring your book.

Best regards.

Thanks ;^)

Yes, I know, discovering shipment prices outside Europe was a bummer for me too...
I have no good solution for this problem (this was also one of the reasons
to priviledge quality over price for the book itself).  One option that
I might add is delivery at a pickup point.  In that case, the shipment costs
would go down a bit, although they would remain high for Africa.
Any suggestions (in private) are welcome.
If you have some collegue or friend that also uses TeXmacs,
then you may also consider ordering two copies.
One of our oldest and most faithful TeXmacs users
from Mexico just did that ;^)

Best wishes, --Joris
