[geeks] History book suggestions?

[nate at portents.com]

Thanks, these look great, and they've actually been re-published and
reprinted in the UK recently.  The amazon.co.uk site has them - is that
the best way for me to get them, you folks think?  Or are there better UK
-> US book importers out there?
