Every so often I check amazon.de to see if there are any used copies available of a 1995 German edition of Fantasy & Science Fiction that contains a translation of my story "From Our Point of View We Had Moved to the Left." I have a copy myself, which Gordon Van Gelder kindly sent me, but my father, who served in Germany both as a missionary and as a soldier, would very much like a copy.
Well, today I found a copy:
Ein neuer Mensch: Die besten Stories aus The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction #91
I tried to buy it, but apparently the seller won't ship to the U.S. Here's the message I got when I tried to check out:
Dieser Artikel kann leider nicht an den gewünschten Ort versandt werden.
So here's my question: Anyone in Germany willing to buy this and send it on to me? I will of course reimburse this person for the full cost of purchase and both phases of the shipping. In fact, I wonder whether the seller might not ship the book anywhere inside the EU. Anyone in the UK willing to try?
This would be a tremendous favor to me, and would make my father very happy to boot.
