RE: [load balancing] Server Load Balancing BookI agree fully. I ordered 4 (hard)copies. To my surprise, local tax authorities (via DHL) opened the package, and put some
extra tax on this. I can live with this, but if you order via the net, be sure you calculate with some extra
local taxes. From a Danish perspective, this is typically 2.7% in toll and an additional 25% in local tax.!! So, as this book is
probably also taxed first in the US, that makes it triple-taxation.
I wonder how they would handle it, if I paid for an electronic copy instead of a hardcopy of the book! They probably cannot, as
international law on this issue is not mature.
Just 2c, off-topic

A guy's gotta make a living you know. I'm sure a lot of blood sweat and tears (too dramatic?) went into this book. Tony should be compensated.
Go buy it. I know I will.
