I ordered this book from Frau Schauermann and sent her a check for $35 as recommended. Unfortunately, when she deposited the check at her bank, they took 9 Euro for various fees, leaving us over 16 Euro short. She mailed me a letter back with the description of the extra charges. So I changed some dollars for Euro at the airport international terminal and put 20 Euro cash in the mail to her today. I recommend that if you are going to purchase this book by sending a check in dollars, be very conservative on the exchange rate and include at least an extra 9 Euro for the bank charges. The book is 20 Euro, the postage is 10 Euro and the bank charges 9 Euro to convert from dollars to Euro, so I would send the dollar equivalent of at least 40 Euro. Rick Bachmann
