Member johnoverall Posted April 29, 2010 Member Share Posted April 29, 2010 The book is now listed on Amazon US and Amazon Japan. Also, there will only be around 35 copies (or so) for sale of the first run; the rest will be free copies going to everyone who chipped in and helped the book become a reality. And yes, the layout is getting there and it will have plenty of images throughout. Final price will be set when we can accurately calculate cost per copy.

Hi, can I please ask where and when you pre-ordered as I would have received notifications from Neilsen BookData (who act as conduit between major suppliers and publishers) and I haven't heard a peep.

Ordered mine from amazon.co.uk, last friday night, shortly after the comment about limited colour copies was posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Asmo Posted May 18, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2010 Will the book be available at any other places besides Amazon? I don't have a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member johnoverall Posted May 18, 2010 Member Share Posted May 18, 2010 Will the book be available at any other places besides Amazon? I don't have a credit card. You can buy direct from me if you have a PayPal account. Or you can walk into any bookstore and order it quoting ISBN-10: 0956012310 or ISBN-13: 978-0956012319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member johnoverall Posted May 18, 2010 Member Share Posted May 18, 2010 Forgot to mention, it'll be full colour, 146 glossy pages, will now retail @ £19.99 Oh, and it was on eBay last week: not sure it's a wise idea to get it here though! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member bratty Posted May 19, 2010 Member Share Posted May 19, 2010 fuckin' pricey (atleast on eBay) but I'm definitely going to grab a copy .. been looking for a book just like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member kurtz Posted May 19, 2010 Member Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi John, Is that £19.99 only direct from you or across the board as amazon is still showing £30? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member johnoverall Posted May 19, 2010 Member Share Posted May 19, 2010 It takes a week for the central database to catch up when I make changes, so Amazon and all the other stores who have it listed should have the updated price displayed in the near future (if they can be bothered to update their listing). Even if you order it from them you will still pay the lower, retail price. The £30 was an estimate on my part based on the quote for my previous book and is now null and void. So, yes it's £19.99 everywhere not just direct from me. Do not pay £30 or £40 for it, I don't want to see anyone get ripped off. Believe me, we will need to sell every one to break even, this has never been about making a fast buck and Carl and I have invested a lot of time and money in this and would appreciate your support. Obviously postage and packing costs will need to be met if you buy it direct and I promise to do those at cost. Okay, that's enough of that. It's time to say Congratulations to Carl! The proof has arrived, so it actually exists now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member johnoverall Posted May 19, 2010 Member Share Posted May 19, 2010 Is it a small book or do you just have REALLY big hands?? In my spare time, I am a giant.... it's the angle of the pic and that I do actually have large hands! I can measure the book if anyone needs dimensions.

Member johnoverall Posted May 20, 2010 Member Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hey John are you still a Bruce Lee collector?i'm sure you bought some stuff from me when i sold my collection around 15 years ago Hi, not into collecting so much anymore, I'm planning to go through the last box of bits I have left and list them on eBay in the near future. It's entirely possible I bought stuff from you! Although I'd had an interest for years prior, between 1994 and 2003 I had a voracious appetite for Bruce Lee and wound up with a room full of stuff. Having kids put an end to all that though, needed to make space for a nursery so began 'pruning' all that I'd acquired. Have kept some nice pieces, got to interview people connected to Bruce Lee, published various articles in magazines and even put out a book about him. So I think I've pretty much done everything I could have hoped for. Do you remember what I bought? I may still have it/them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member saltysam Posted May 21, 2010 Member Share Posted May 21, 2010 Can't remember John,was a long time ago i had an ad in the old Film Review magazine and you responded to it.i like you had kids and had to sell up.It was a nice collection though and i miss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
