Oom Dan, ja, if you buy at my online shop I send it all over the country. I have 3 postage options to choose from, from R25 per parcel for normal registered parcel to R120 for courier to your door.

My shop is mainly aimed at the "far away people" The guys in the city can just POP into their local 4x4 store and buy the book, the people from far can only do it when next they go to "town" and only if they have enough time while in town. I know how it goes, I am slo 140km from Cape Town and when you go to town you normally have a long list of things to do and most of the time there is not enough time in one day to also get to the 4x4 store.
