translation help (and manners)

Post by dmt1955 »

i have been in contact with a publishing company to purchase a book on catasto onciario di montaguto. after many exchanges about doing this (shipping costs and bank wire transfers), this is the response i received.

Purtroppo non possiamo effettuare la spedizione del testo cartaceo fuori dall'Italia. Le omaggiamo del file in formato PDF sperando di farle cosa gradita. Lo troverà come allegato di questa mail.
Grazie mille per averci contattati, buona giornata.

am i correct in my rough translation that they gave me the .pdf file of the book at no charge? google translate was less than helpful

thanks for your help with this. i would not want to offend.

Yes you got the book, no charge, in pdf format. They cannot (?) send the actual book outside of Italy.
