My book is for sale on Amazon but there is one problem |
|
I'm looking at the half-finished manuscript and CD's of photos and drawings etc as I type. The draft has not even been proof read.
A colleague told me this morning and I had a shifty; sure enough, there it was. Only one second hand, copy at over $100. Eh? It's pitched to sell for around $20!
I'm half tempted to try buying it just to see what happens but I'm going to send Amazon an e-mail instead.
This has put the zap on my head...maybe I did get it published but forgot about it. Must stop drinking that cheap red wine.

You should buy it, just to see! Definitely email Amazon and ask them what's up.
What's your book about?

4. it's not even been reviewed people |
|
It's an architectural text and it is known that it will be published...sometime...the date has never been revealed because I don't want to create a hostage to fortune.
I'm still thinking how to deal with this. My impish sense of humour leans towards a wind-up...

3. I don't know why they do this... |
|
but they put the book up for sale as soon as they can. Then, if you order it, they say "We'll ship it when it's available... like in six months!"
Apparently you can already buy the new Harry Potter.
Did your book come out in galley form for reviewers? Maybe that's what that used copy is.
