ReplyDeleteLooked it up on Amazon and they don't have any in stock unfortunately. Looking at the prices for resell, looks like it must be popular as the price in about $90(£56)which is more than 3 times the price on B&N. Would paid a lot for a good art book but not if it's going to a re-seller:( I would prefer to line the pocket of the author and contributors. Don't normally order from B&N but not likely to be in store so maybe this time.
ReplyDeleteBesides that I hope you have a good turnout and sell many many books. Love looking through the various urban sketcher sites.
Jacqui - Amazon should have it back in stock by now. The second reprint has delivered and they should be stocked up by now. They were certainly out of stock for a few weeks in March/April
DeleteThe book is going for a special discount price today in the Cass Islington store
I've had an email today from Gabi - who wishes he was able to come today and meet everyone - saying the book is out of stock again in Amazon US, with a reprint expected in June. It's a sign of its success, I suppose.
DeleteI will put in on reserve so Gabi gets some of the money at least.
