I agree, a very nice guy who has put his time aside to help others, maybe we should chip together and get him a surprise gift for saving us all the time and money?

Hello,

Plantman, Dennis and Peter im sorry but there are no more copies left of the book, I asked the guy in the shop and he said that these were the last 3 copies of the Kellerman book his retailer had in stock.

Lafos, Burnsy and Paul please email me with addresses and I will get these shipped out to you next week.
They were £30 each. I will get the cash from you all when you receive the books and by then I will know how much the postage was on each book.

Please stipulate which mode of shipping you would like, trackable/non trackable.

Thank you.

Does anyone know why this book had such a limited run??

The secondary market price is ridiculous.

It just does not make sense. The author obviously worked very hard on this publication, so you would think they would flood the market with them so they could make more money and satisfy demand...

Surely they must have known the demand for this book would be massive. Why would they fuel the secondary market like this. Just rips off genuine collectors...

Do you realize that John self-published this book? I've heard of others that self-published and it cost something like $30,000 out of pocket. That's no small chunk of change. It took John something like 5 years to sell through his inventory. He even offered it for discounts through Amazon, Forbidden Planet, and others. He busted his ass for years trying to sell through but people just were not buying it fast enough and when all was said and done I think he just about broke even. Years of researching, writing, photographing, a HUGE expense out of pocket followed by 5 long years (and mind you John is 70 years old) and he made not a dime of profit. I understand you want a book but please know the facts before saying stuff about fueling secondary markets and ripping genuine collectors off. The book sellers are making more profit than John ever did.

John
