Order directly from the publisher.
Pay beforehand or order the Pro Forma for the books.
     If you don't pay beforehand, your books may come to local
     bookstore and they will 'rob' you - there's some contracts exists
     with the bookstores here and the publishers.

Pro Forma is the bill you pay through bank or you must send it back
with the check.

Best way might be that you ask publisher's count number, prices for
the books and the handling charges via FAX machine. And when they see
that you have payed the books they will send them to you.

Any other good ways to do the ordering?
