It may be useful to know that there are two Stateside options for
purchasing the East Timor Atlas described below, listed at 1,500 Thailand
bhats.
Currency calculators show Thai bhats, 1500, to exchange for US dollars at
approximately $43.00 to $44.00
Amazon.com lists the Silkworm Press edition of this title, at US $50.00.
They are low in stock but expect more copies to arrive.
Also, the academic book vendor, Yankee Book Peddler, in their Gobi system,
list an edition of the same title and author, published by University of
Washington Press, also at $50.00. This, I presume, is a republication of
the book packaged for UW Press by Silkworm Press. Gobi lists this as in
stock.
