It will be.

I have to admit that I have not looked into international shipment of
books, but we have been paying about US$5 per pound with approximately 1-2
weeks delivery to the UK and other  developed countries.

We are ooking at thios issue.  Suffice it to say that we will choose a
binding of sufficient quality to make the book a worthwhile investment.
There are perfect bindings that are better quality than others if we go
that route, and there is some considerable desire for a stictched hardbound
so we may go that route.  there are also hybrid bindings.
