If you only want *one* (or two) book, Kingbooks.com is an excellent choice
since they will send one or two by US Priority Mail for a flat US$9.99.

Bookpool.com gives great discounts for some publishers, including O'Reilly.

http://www.acses.com/ will search a variety of online bookstores and tell
you the prices at each, including the various shipping options to your
destination.  (The "winner" for for this book is Brian's Books at US$48.46
(Y5648) by Priority Mail.  Can I have the free O'Reilly T-shirt for pointing
this site out?  http://www.briansbooks.com/ :-)
