This all is written in two languages - on the left the German text with
German calls, on the right the English text with English calls. Some people
complained, that they must pay for two languages, but use only one. However,
it is a different case: You pay for one language, and get the other in the
bargain. If I printed this in but one language, I had to sell it for the same
prize, nevertheless. My labour would be the same (with only half the fun);
the printing costs are not much smaller; and the advertising costs - not
to be overlooked - remain also.

I would take 1 US-Dollar for 1 Euro; but I don't know how you could transfer money. Cheques are no good.
With them, the sauce would become costlier than the meat.
I would try to ship as economically as possible; but it is not cheap, anyhow.
