Thanks again you both! Can`t wait. Autnm draws on...nuff time to study and burry into a good read and detect some interessting news and dig in former Books and Bios...while listening to the Splatter ones! Looking foreward!

Thanks guys

Ian,

That is an excellent and very fair question.
The book price is down to Amazon to a huge degree.
They take 40% of the price. Out of our 60% of £40, we pay for 'print on demand' for each book.
For the 300 page hardback (as opposed to 205 pages), that costs us £17.50.
The remainder: £6.50 - is split between Chris and myself. A drink each.

If we had done the book at the £30 price that I fancied, we would have got £0.25p each.
If we could do it cheaper and make something back, we honestly would.
It really is more of a labour of love than a get rich quick scheme.
I personally just want a copy on my bookshelf. Anything else is a bonus.

Expanded distribution reduces our share down to 40% and we still pay the same print costs out of that.
That's the perils of writing a book that no publisher in their right mind gives a shit about.
If Omnibus had jumped on this, we'd be better off.

That's very disappointing and definitely not in the spirit of all things Slade. I'll pop the link in now. Seeing as it's the wee small hours in the southern hemisphere it might be up for a little bit.

What Ian says

Well have just ordered. My third incarnation after buying the original and the author signed 2019 convention edition. I will of course keep all three versions, especially the convention edition as it’s also signed by Don.
Look forward to reading, or rereading the latest volume in nice hardback form.
Special thanks to Chris and Ian for my included name at the end of the book.
Now if you could just STOP updating it because my bank manager is on my back!!!!

We got to keep the economy open chaps

Got to keep the money rolling


Keep it rolling (yea!!!!!! )
