Are the international shipping rates the same for the Hardcover books?

Yes.

I live in the US. Why can't I get the books at the same time as in Europe?

The answer has two parts.

Firstly, the books have to cross the Atlantic Ocean to make it to our main US distributor. It takes about a month at best. Then the books have to be sent to other wholesalers and distributors. It all takes time.

Secondly, we are trying to make our books available at the same time. We have partnered up with Chess4Less, Books from Europe, and USCF Chess Sales to get the books to the US with air freight, available to the public at publication (excluding hardback editions in the latter case). 

We are of course very happy to send books to our US customers directly, but we recommend getting them from these chess specialists!
