Does it make any difference to you whether a sale goes via Amazon or Mortons?My WW2 fighter engines book now available for pre-order after a 5 year wait.
Looks like a great book, I look forward to seeing this.
The amazon link posted notes: "This item does not ship to the United States".
Any chance of having it listed as another Amazon item that will ship to US? Shipping from Morton's will be killer since it's such a large book (thanks for that btw).
Also available in US for preorder at Barnes & Noble where I have placed my order. I am looking forward to reading it.
Pre-ordered. Good luck with sales.
BTW, you've haven't seen a pre-order thread for a book on the Martin B-10 have you?
Thank you for ordering it, its not a tremendously expensive book - but money is money and I appreciate people taking a "punt".
This is one advantage of a traditional publisher (a couple of years ago I was thinking about a print-on-demand) as you can do a reasonable print run
and therefore sell a pretty thick A4 hardback with 350+ pages for less than 40 dollars. Trust me the content is not bargain basement.
With print on demand, a similar book actually COSTS about 25 dollars each just to print it, so to make it worthwhile, a self-published print
on demand would have been at least 50 or 60 dollars. Colour and hardback are real killers for print cost.

The big A have unmatched convenience but I have heard they can be pretty brutal on the finances of small publishers and authors.
As it turns out its much better for me personally, and the publisher if you order from them directly.
Amazon undercut the publisher, which is fine for them and buyers, but effectively means we get less money, and it means the pre-order money
isnt "seen" by the publisher until Amazon ships the books, in the current "situation", for that reason I recommend supporting my publisher -
if you are able to (I think Amazon have discounted it about 15%)
They look like normal pawses to me.Currently working on final "page-check" for the last 2 chapters, we hope to send to the printing press within 10 days.
This careful checking process comes complete with the additional approval of "cat", who has supervised the entire process, and has at certain moments insisted on long pauses in the checking process.
