Hi Chef Tatung,
Your cookbooks were mostly out of stock from NBS when I looked July this year. And heavy. So I thought I will order online when I come back to Australia. Do you know Amazon Au sells its for aud 336 plus frieght? Its not affordable chef. There must be a mistake. So I thought to let uou know. I would love to buy most of your cookbooks through online sana.
