That's the cost for the book and shipping together. That gets you faster "smart post" type shipping, usually Fedex or UPS.
But yeah, shipping is ridiculous.

I went back in and clarified the international shipping language.
Straight talk: The cheapest Canada shipping I've found is $19.50 through USPS. I can ship directly from the warehouse for $20.62 and that gets "smart post" shipping which is usually some form of Fedex or UPS. The 'smart post' to Canada usually takes two days whereas the USPS usually takes a week I think.
