The International Union of Mail-Artists is where the IUOMA stands for, but actually it is one of the aspects of the Mail-Art that Ruud Janssen has produced in the last 38 years. A lot has been written by him in this period and in his BLOG he writes about the most recent views and thoughts. For Snail-Mail write to: iuoma@outlook.com
Hi Ruud, Is there a way to buy ALL your mailart related books outside the LULU system? I am asking that because the postage cost is as much as the price of one book. Thanks!
Yes, LuLu calculates high postage when one orders ONE book. When I order larger sets, the postage becomes relatively cheap (like 15% of the book price). That is the only way I myself order booksets. When I would do that for you and would send them to Canada it would mean double postage. Maybe try to order a set and see what the postage becomes. When ordered in Canada, the books will be printed in Mexico. Books can be bought at Amazone too. But I guess the postage problem stays the same. A parcel of 20 books costs about 30 euro's postage. One book costs 20 euro's postage. So the trick is to order larger sets because then the postage becomes relatively cheap.....
