Amazon competes with Amazon

it takes time to (unreliably) filter through to Amazon UK, sorry. Another month. Amazon USA and Amazon UK seem to be such separate companies that they almost compete. The book is published by Amazon USA and for sale on Amazon.com but that doesn't help with Amazon UK - they won't list it. I have to publish via their competitor Lulu to get it on the UK site. Extremely frustrating.

You don't need to know that - you just want the book. One option is to order from Lulu - shipping is less for European orders: they ship from UK and Spain. Inconvenient I know because you have to register with Lulu like you do with Amazon, and you can't combine books (unless of course you buy more of mine or the thousands of other books and videos and CDs on order at Lulu).

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Amazon uk

Will it be available from Amazon UK or do we have to pay the large overseas charge from the States to get this great and wonderful book?

maybe

Discount: possible but there is a recession on - I gotta eat :)

Digital: maybe later. (a) I hate all the IP protection issues (b) it requires an entire reformatting of the book

Looking forward to reading it

Rob,

I've enjoyed reading your work for a long time and I'm looking forward to this book.

It would be lovely if you offered your subscribers a discounted price if they ordered through your site, you being such a nice guy, and all. Not that it isn't worth the money (I purchased your other book). I'm writing a book, myself -- authors should get paid.
And supporters should be encouraged.

Best,
Mark

Hello, Congratulations! Will

Hello,

Congratulations! Will there be a digital version of the book for Adobe Digital users (like me) ?
