Buying English books in China?

[Colossus]

Hey, I enjoy doing a lot of studying on my own, and given that I have an enormous amount of free time here, I thought I'd teach myself logic. Now I have from fairly credible sources that the best book on this is Introduction to Logic by I.M. Copi. What I'm having trouble finding is how exactly to get this book to Chongqing.

There is a fairly big bookstore downtown in Jiefangbei district, but its English section is terribly small and definitely wouldn't have this esoteric textbook. Mainly it looks like the selection is built for Chinese students who want basic English literature, not to actually learn logic in English.

So...how would I get it? I checked Amazon.com and while Hong Kong is on the list for countries they will ship to, they say nothing about the mainland. Is there a online store where I can buy within China? Any suggestions peeps?

Amazon does ships to mainland China, but the shipping charge is fairly expensive, maybe $5-10 per book.

Hmm....I'm seeing it as more like $12.49.

Unless you know something I don't?

I was just giving you a range, without bothering to look it up again. You should of course use amazon.com's official numbers.

@Colossus: What you were looking at are the shipping rates for items bought in the marketplace. Items bought directly from amazon.com use these shipping rates, which are USD 5-6 per item plus a per-shipment charge of USD 5-30.

Maybe someone can help me. What do you think the cheapest way to get this book would be?

I only ask because the marketplace rates are significantly cheaper.
