Well, I think we can take the less than a year old rule as a guideline, not an absolute; it's a judgment call based on price and library waiting lists. However, while there's no rule saying we can't nominate books not available in the usual countries, I agree that it tends to be a dealbreaker.
I hear you; some months I go through more than one "perfect" choice only to bump up against the availability problem.
