Infamous Helm Manual
I've been trying to track down the infamous Helm manual for the S that the yanks rave about. It is apparently the equivalent of the Haynes manual. 
After much googling I had some success
Helm Web Site
After some very confusing emails trying to explain AP1 vs AP2 and the fact that UK +04 cars have the AP1 engine in it
They finally came up with this;
Helm Manual For All Years
Price is OK at $70
Then you add the shipping at $121 for a
ing book 
Any one got any bright ideas on how I can get one shipped cheaper!

I don't suppose Amazon.com has it.....?
Or, if you have friends or family in the US, is it much cheaper to get it shipped to a US address and then posted back to you?

you need to get the ISBN and then you should be able to get one ordered via UK highstreet. As a kid I worked at the largest book wholesaler in the UK - football pitch size! Anyway hey would import regularly for UK shops - just need the ISBN.
Waterstones etc will just phone their wholesaler up for you while you wait - that's how they used to do it

Thought of those nothing on Amazon and no contacts in the US 
That aside, my sister's at Uni in Canada and will be coming back for holiday end of April if Canada shipping's cheap (and the book's a sensible size)
