You may find :
The Internet Book Shop, http://www.bookshop.co.uk
useful. They do not seem to be interested in looking for anything that
they do not have on their stock-list. Also, I discovered that my CC
details were available directly to anyone who took the trouble to work
out my personal code - fortunately, they did take them off when I
protested.
Blackwell's will take orders over the net, but refuse to accept
payment over the ether, so you have to open an account by surface mail
- they claim, probably accurately, that the Net is not safe enough.

The best overall guide to online Bookstores that I know is that at
Oxford:
http://www.comlab.ox.ac.uk/archive/publishers/bookstores.html
and I might add that personally I am very happy with Blackwells, which I
always access through their 'Tour of the Oxford Bookshop':
http://www.blackwell.co.uk/bookshops/oxtour/oxtour.html
They offer the mailing option know as Accelerated Surface Mail which
brings books to Korea almost as quickly as Airmail at almost the cost of
Surface mail (otherwise we have to wait 3 months). Another possibility
is the quickly growing Internet Bookshop. Or any of the innumerable
others in the Oxford list, for which we are extremely grateful, be it
