      Hi Pedro - basically, I'm hoping to ship everything for free; I don't anticipate the cost of shipping the newspapers to be particularly expensive. The books might be trickier though - we'll have to see. I might have to do surface shipping, which will take longer.

      Hello. Seeing as nobody has asked so far, might as well do so: how much more do international backers have to pledge to account for shipping costs for rewards like the newspaper or the book?
