New Brazilian Sign Language Dictionary based on new Cognitive Neurosciences Paradigm now available (credit card abroad)

Dear Charles,
I was not aware that the web site did not use to support only Brazilian
addresses and that it did not use to accept  credit cards from customers
abroad. Thank you for informing me about that.
I am terribly surprised with that very relevant information.
Could you please verify whether that is still the case?
If you cannot order from abroad, then I will go personally to the USP Press
(Edusp) to see what they can do about it.
Thank you so very much.
Fernando
PS: I am forwarding your message to the USP Press to as to pave the way to
solving that problem.
