I am super interested in this game due to your enthusiasm, but being in the US the shipping is steep and probably takes a long time. Which is fine, but is there a better way?

In theory you might lobby your friendly local game store to get in touch with the designer to stock some copies, but in practice I imagine this is most likely to look palatable if the store serves a large local area and/or has a web shop.
