p. tax-numbers

In order to trade your "lovely book" (as such it was listed, said the nerd proudly and gratefully) you seem to be in need of an american tax number and/ or a luxembourgian vat-system, please fill in the w-7 form, send us a copy of your passport, assure us that you do not hold terrorist or other criminal purposes, and wait another 8 weeks or so, wtf, said the nerd.
