Bad news for Canadian fans
As soon as I saw this thread I popped over to time-life.com to try and order the set. But when I went to register I was unable to enter a Canadian address (you had to use a pull-down menu to "Pick A State", and if you left it blank they wouldn't let you continue)
So I called the 1-800 number to place the order by phone. The lady was very nice and checked three or four times but finally told me that she couldn't place a Canadian order.
And I've checked - there is a Time-Life Europe and a Time-life Austraila but no Time-life.ca
