content: I would like to ask a member located in Serbia to help me source a book to the United Kingdom.The book is located on the website 'Kupindo', which to me looks like a Serbian version of Gumtree.I need someone local to source the book and post it to me. You will be compensated for your trouble and I would be most grateful to you.Please contact me via PM if you are interested in this unusual 'project'.ThanksAlex

content: You have it here..http://www.njuskalo.hr/strucna-literatura/alfred-zidan-prirucnik-popravak-radioprijemnika-1-2-zagreb-1961-oglas-21687828That is local Croatian classifieds ads site.You can try to contact seller. (<KONTAKTIRAJ OGLAŠIVA?A>) button is for that.I don't think him sending it to you directly should be a problem (it's inside EU), and should be few €.If you have communication problem or they insist on local pickup let me know.We'll try to organize something. I'm not In Zagreb, but can ask a friend to do me a favor.Let me know.Regards,Siniša

content: Hi Alex,Sending from Serbia to the UK is rather annoying due to some export regulations(Customs officer needs to check the package...etc). Also somewhat expensive as the post calculator only seems to offer express delivery to the UK(about 25-30 eur). If you don't manage to acquire the book from Croatia which is probably a lot easier I'll have some time in about 2 weeks to mess around with the post officeI think it would actually be easier and cheaper to scan the whole thing and send it to you digitally( think about 10 eur for the 200 pages).
