In an online shop, possibly from the US, given the current exchange rate. Check
CoffeeGeek - Coffee & Espresso Grinder Reviews for reviews. If you want a hand grinder, you will most likely want a Zassenhaus.

Yes, absolutely.

Thing is, if you have a machine, you will also want an automatic grinder. I have a Rancilio Silvia (highly recommended, and arguably the best semi automatic home espresso machine money can buy) with a Demoka grinder I got on the cheap. Cannot be beat unless you go for a semi-pro machine (we'd be talking USD 2,000 and upwards, then).
As always, your mileage may vary.
