    1. Jim, you’re not the only one to ask. I just posted “Burning Shed for Americans.” It’s a great company, though, of course, you’ll get everything a week later than the British. A small price to pay for having the Atlantic!

    Officially pre-ordered.

    Jim, you can change the currency at the top of the page. If you use PayPal, it won’t even matter – it figures out the conversion.
