Dear René,

I called Dr. Ziethen. We had difficulty communicating because of the language difference, each of us only being able to speak in the other's language very brokenly. As you say, your book will come with a bill. Dr. Ziethen suggests a bank transfer. I can give it a try, but my bank in the past has been a real nightmare to deal with with such. Hopefully, things have changed since.

Dr. Ziethen's business appears to be quite small, with only 3 people in the office. From what I can tell, they have not set up to handle payments by credit card nor PayPal, which will potentially hinder sales in the U.S.

The only easy U.S. option would be to order the book through an intermediary such as Christian-Schmidt, which does offer payment by credit card. And Gabi there speaks fluent English. Had I known that this was going to happen, I'd have gone this route.

Thanks for all of your help.

Regards,
Richard
