Package surprises

I checked the front desk today, hoping a present I ordered last week would be waiting for me. There was indeed a package, but not what I was expecting. I used this book repeatedly for my thesis. At the time, it was the most comprehensively researched work I could find on my subject. Since then, I've looked for it on Amazon, only to find it out of stock or ridiculously expensive. A few months ago, I got the bright idea to email the author directly and request a copy. That's what arrived today. As my grandma would say, "I'm tickled pink."

However, I now need to figure out how to do a bank transfer to Norway.
