You can order by credit card, and shipping adds about 10-15% to the price for overseas airmail (10 days to here in Korea) She also does special orders of any other music including getting out of print items from publishers archives as authorized photocopies. Finally, if you visit england, you can stop buy and play for a day through any of the music in stock with your group ... (Nicolaus Spoerel)
