My exciting American jaunts!
Redball:
I'm finding it difficult to get UPS or Fedex rates UK to US, but finding rates west should be easier from there. Only one I saw was Parcelforce Worldwide, and lowest price was £83 for 10kg 30x30x30cm. Depending on the titles, is it possible the books might be more cheaply obtained via Amazon and used, or that forum members have them? Or are they textbooks? In a future year, you'd be using a Kindle or equivalent.

For comparison's sake, what's the Royal Mail rate?
Barmymoo:
They're textbooks from the college library. I checked the library catalogue at Edith's library but didn't have much hope and I was right - not a lot of textbooks on the English law of trusts in circulation in US libraries.
The Royal Mail rates are £62.88 for 5kg, which is still too much. I don't think I can afford to spend that much - I will have to be selective about which books I take, and attempt to get them into my suitcase. I hadn't realised how expensive this stuff was. Boo.
Akima:
I suppose it's a silly question, but are they available in e-book format?
Barmymoo:
Sadly not, which is annoying. I bought my contract textbook for Kindle this year, which was published in 2012, but the books I need this summer are all older. I've got them out of the library, so providing I can get them to the USA without it costing a fortune they're free.
