The ironic thing about this is that he's asking about a book written by a Canadian author in northern Alberta and published by a Canadian publishing firm in Edmonton. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I send tons of stuff to Canada. I use international priority mail and have almost always had great success. For a passaround book there should be absolutely no issues at all at the post office. A customs form takes 1 minute to fill out....just make absolutely certain you include a "USA" on the return address...I had one package held for quite a while as I had forgotten that. This was during a Canadian postal service slowdown strike or something like that.
