Hi Chinedu!
I think Amazon will ship books everywhere in the world. Why don't you just try it?

try the international amazon sites such as Amazon UK. They are sometimes much cheaper than the US amazon site.
I've ordered books from Amazon UK and had them shipped to US and saved money over just ordering them from amazon US so it will probably be the same from where you are.

Hmm, I guess it depends if the publisher is british or american. Also with the exchange rate being so much in favour of the british pound now, perhaps amazon US is better. But a year ago I ordered two books from amazon UK and saved a lot even with international shipping and they arrived relatively fast. In under 2 weeks.

thanks alot for your help.i have already been to amazon (us) but
the problem for example the first book i want is $41 j2me complete reference but the used book resellers have it for $20 which is cheaper and therefore better but the problem is none of them ship to africa .
that is the reason i need someone to help me out here so i pay the person
or someone who knows another company that ships used books to africa
thanks

You can subscribe to this for $15 a month. Of course, it's only good if you have regular access to the Internet as all the books are on-line.
