Actually, I considered recommending them too, but made a quick check before. Ordering "The Pragmatic Programmer" and "Pragmatic Thinking and Learning" from Amazon (+shipping) totals at $77, as opposed to $86 on Combooks. Always compare :)

Have you tried Combooks? I used to invite them to August Penguin to have a discounted sale of FOSS software (organizers - you might wish to do this again).

I live and work in the Jerusalem area.  Generally, when I want Linux and/or other types of computer books (right now I'm learning Perl), I wait till we have family coming from the US and force them to bring the books to me here.

I keep saying there must be a better way to get good books here in Israel.  Is there a bookstore somewhere that already imports these kinds of books, or that can order them for me and deliver them to me via IL Post or where I can pick them up somewhere local in this part of the country?

I have ordered books through a previous employer from Amazon.co.uk<http://Amazon.co.uk>, but I remember it being much more expensive than getting them in the US.  What are your experiences.  Thank you.

# According to WikiPedia, the Kinneret can hold
# 4 km^3, so FULL here is in cubit meters
FULL="4000"
while [ "$LEVEL" -lt "$FULL" ]; do
 cat /sea/med /sea/red |\
 grep -vi "salt" |\
 tee /sea/dead /lake/kinneret
 LEVEL=`du -c /sea/dead /lake/kinneret | grep total | awk '{print $1}'`
done
