Default 964 Buyers' Guide

Apologies for blowing my own trumpet (well, someone has to) – my 964 Buyers' Guide is now on sale at, amongst other places, www.petermorgan.org.uk. A snip at just £8.95.

Cheers

I think I'll start on a buyers' guide to 964 books...

I'll get the Blue Shadow to pick me your book up from Chaters.

Thanks Paul. Hope it's of use to someone who's already bought a 964. Maybe I should post on the 993 board for people who want to upgrade

Cheers

Hello Phil,

just got my copy a few minutes ago - excellent - well done; simple yet detailed, straight to the point, informative, well presented and handy size. When are we getting a dedicated 964 turbo guide then?

All the best and best regards

Phil,

Will your buyer's guide be sold by any US book retailers (e.g., Amazon.com)?

I just did a check at Amazon, and didn't find it. Though, I did get hits for books about "rabies" when I searched for "Raby."

Interesting idea - I'll bear it in mind.

Thanks for the positive feedback, too.

Umm, that gets me foaming at the mouth

Not sure about Amazon (although you should find other books of mine there) - I'll check with Peter Morgan.

Hey Phil,

Doesn't have to be Amazon. Was looking for a US retailer, to avoid shipping charges from the UK.

Dear Randall,
As I have learned in the past week, Amazon do not purchase from the publishers. They purchase from book distributors. Ingrams in the USA, Brooklands (I think) in England. Amazon Germany has to purchase from the UK distributor as well I am told.
I would imagine Phil and Peter would have to do some marketing PR to get it picked up in the USA by a retail chain. I still believe that a book distributor would have to be involved somehow.
Ciao,
Adrian

I've checked with Peter, he's looking into US distribution but nothing has been sorted yet. You can only buy the books from the UK at the moment.

Sorry about that.

Cheers

I just ran a search for 'Phil Raby' on amazon.co.uk and all I got back was.

Books: See results in Books:...

Resuscitation of the Newborn: A Practical Approach -- David Drew, et al (Paperback - Books for Midwives - 24 August, 2000)
Our Price: £16.99


Not sure that's exactly what I was after....
