Subject: Re: The Lowdown on Czech Puppet Tapes


Dear Kristen Rengren,

        I have no words to express my gratitude. 

        And I am absolutely disappointed at F****. It seems to me that,
even if I make an order for the Videos and send my credit card number by
fax, F**** will ignore it again. I do not want to talk directly with F****
any more. F**** will disregard the interests of foreigners. 
        But as you wrote it, there is no other company that sells this
stuff. To buy or not to buy, that is the question.

>So, for instance, if you bought all four tapes, it would be $149.83, plus
>$20 for handling and insurance and $32 for shipping, for a total of
>$201.83. 

Could you please act as an intermediary? (I wonder if my English is
appropriate or not. Excuse me, when it is not so.) I send you 210 US
dollars, you buy the four tapes from F**** and send them to me when it is
convenient to you. The tapes can be sent by ordinary air mail for videos
(not registered or something). I think it is as cheap as the postage of
printed matters. The rest of the money is yours. I will send more money if
it does not pay for you. Of course, you are not responsible at all for the
trouble of mail service. In other word, even when the tapes does not get to
me, you are not responsible at all. I declare it here. (Everyone here on
the list is now reading this passage of mine. That is the witness.)

>You may also want to consider whether or not your VCR is in PAL or NTSC

We can see the tapes in NTSC in Japan. There is no problem.

I would like you to do the things mentioned above. If ok, please tell me
your snail mail address with personal e-mail. If you do not want to do,
plsease say so without any hesitation. I know this is a impolite and
shameless and entreaty.

I thought and thought. This is the result. I need the tapes, because they
are not sold in Japan. (I want other tapes of such Czech animation films as
are made by Jiri Trnka, Karel Zeman, Jiri Barta, and I want know what
titles of Quay brothers and Starevich F**** has as well. First of all, I
must get the four of Trnka and Svankmajer.)

Dear Kristen Rengren, thank you. ARIGATO!
