I'm looking to buy some math books for my homeschooled kids. I like these. http://www.hmhco.com/shop/k12/Math-in-Focus-Singapore-Math--Student-Pack-Grade-1/9780547549309

But that company apparently only ships within the US. I would like to avoid shipping and reshipping.

Has anybody found these books (or similar) locally?

Any relevant opinions or advice on the matter would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'd ship and reship from Amazon where they can be had for a fraction of the price.
