To Buy Migritude I: When Saris Speak

The book costs 13 Euros ($20). If you're outside Italy, or Europe, I'm sorry to say that the shipping costs are high. Especially when you factor in the weakness of the dollar against the euro. For reasons I haven't yet fathomed, the Italian online book retailer doesn't offer a cheaper shipping alternative than Fedex. So the total cost of ordering the book online, if you're in the US, comes to $46, and the delivery needs to be signed for.

But here are more affordable alternatives:

1) Copies of Migritude I: When Saris Speak , are now on sale in Nairobi. Pick up one or more at Bookstop, Yaya Centre.

2) If you're outside Kenya, you can order the book directly from me, at regular postal rates. With discounts, if you buy more than one! Email me your name, address, and how many books you want, and I'll let you know the cost. I'll be happy to autograph copies on request.

But........if you have to have your collector's item copy within the next few days, here's how you do it (for non-Italian speakers):

1) Open Babelfish, my preferred translation site. Choose the Italian-English option from the dropdown box. Keep this window open as you go through the online buying steps. Copy and paste into it any Italian text you don't understand, to get it translated.

2) Go to the Migritude Page on ibs.it internet bookshop

Click on Altre Valute (top right hand corner) to convert prices to $, sterling, yen, or swiss francs.

Scroll down past the book title and photo. Click on the little green button with the trolley picture (bottom right hand corner): Metti Nei Carrello (Add to Cart)
Ignore the boxes for offer codes, etc. Below, there's a dull green bar that says Speze di Spedizione (Shipping expenses). Click on the drop-down box and select your destination.

Procedi all' acquisito - proceed to checkout.
