…from my book. Well, plenty have already, but for christ’s sake, there is one left on the Amazon page and it is going for…. £122.69p.
I wonder at the stupidity of people sometimes. If I really wanted to buy a book that was out of print I would contact the author (presuming that said author has a web site of some sort – most do these days, if not all), and ask if it was possible to buy a book directly from the author. I have almost 300 copies of my book in England, and about 3 here which I will sign and post to anybody who would like one – at quite a lower price than that going on Amazon.
It is too late for this Christmas, unless bought for a birthday early next year – or whenever – I don’t care. But I know that a signed book is worth more than one that is not.
Ho hum.
I think Firefox is trying to trick us into believing that we will, after all, get a white christmas as snow is forecast for Thursday. I prefer to remain sceptical about that and enjoy the snow that we presently have, especially as I have to go into town tomorrow to find 2 more small presents. The earlier I am into town the better. The christmas ‘food’ shopping has been bought and as often, we will be having a raclette by request of the children. That will last until the new year at least as no doubt the girls will be visiting their boyfriends and Todd will be visiting his girlfriend. Or simply friends.
It’s time to turn on those christmas carols.
Oh yes, indeed.

£122.69p. Holy shoot. You’re worth a lot. (Leave a comment on the Amazon page about your copies, by the way).
Carols? Ha, I’m listening to Van Morrison, Cleaning Windows, that song’s got such a cool riddim.
How?
Who is that despicable person selling your books for that amount of money on eBay? We should try and hack into that account.
There is snow hither and yon in the UK with the usual accompanying chaos. What are we like?
We also have done the last food shopping but hopefully it won’t be too slippery tomorrow to get a little extra present for himself.
Have a merry Christmas and happy healthy 2100. Patx
£122.69 for your book?
Merde! I put my copy of your book on eBay and the highest bid I got was 99p (the lowest bid possible) and then she emailed me and asked if she could have a 50% discount!
There you have it Zoe; the price of fame is cheap!
I’m not sure how, but I see people leaving ‘reviews’ about books…so I was thinking that you can do a ‘review’ and tell people they can get copies for less from you.
Or put up yours books at Amazon and undersell that scamp!
I mean *your books*
