  4. Have to spred the word on this one for sure! What is the weight of the book packaged to mailed? I know this sound crazy but I am retired from Air Force Living in South Korea and we are limited to 1 pound in out APO Box MPS-USPS…I was born in Somerville MA and lived in Lanesville 1957 until 1968 then went west with family. But like the old native saying your heart and spirit are always drawn back to bithplace 🙂 Thanks Dave

    1. Hi Dave, I would have to go to the post office to get the weight and to find out how much it would cost to ship it over there. What is the shipping address? Would they allow it to be shipped if it’s a little over weight let’s say by a 1/8 or 1/4 of a pound over? Soon as I get the address I’ll go to the post office and let you know some time next week. Thank You for your interest in the book.

  5. Charles, Keep me posted I can call also – not sure if over but would hate to find out as many times they just turn around and sent it back…It is through both USPS and then goes into Military Postal System (MPS). The only difference is leaving USA would require a customs sticker but rates are the same as normal USPS…I would front $$ for a priority mail as it alot of books and items come by boat mail 4-8 weeks…

    Thanks Dave
    It would be APO AP 96266
