[Northkeep] Books not published in US

[Miriam Cook]

I was having similar cigar-laiden thoughts! And, um...
yes... it is still very illegal.  The fact that the
author is Cuban is actually less of a problem than the
Cuban publisher, binder, paper-maker etc.... I am
really suprized that amazon.uk would even ship it to
you-- they can get into big trouble with the American
Customs regulations--
