China, the EU, 'the rest of the world' and the Netherlands

China
Currently being my biggest market, China gets 600 books from the total run of 1200.
These books are accompanied by a White Pages booklet in Chinese, with translations of all texts in, yes, Chinese.
This is handled by my good Chinese friends who also take care of shipping to 'the rest of the world'.
