any idea on a UK oulet?
Not yet. It would be nice if Amazon UK picked it up, though. Shipping charges are usually more than the book!
Thanks, Paul.
I will see if I can find out any details on Amazon UK. I am sending a few contributor's copies to England and the shipping charges is crazy enormous.
The cover is strong too. Will look out for it on amazon.co.uk in due course here
I'm sure it'll be a classic. Be nice to get it without those US shipping charges. I know Static Movement are selling their stuff through Amazon UK and Waterstones.
It looks great - some of my fave writers lurk between those covers!
