Staying Alive...

[Doppler]

I did order the paper version and ended up having to pay $11.50 cash on collecting. A total rip-off by the shipping company, especially if shipping has been paid for already and the duty is $1.50. I know it is small change in the grand scheme of things but it is a question of principle.

Yeah, that is a rip-off. When I order books myself, the duty adds a fair amount to my charges.

For the first couple of printings of my first book, I fulfilled orders myself... wrapping copies up, driving to the post office in the local village, and sending them on their way. Worked OK for Canadian customers, lousy for overseas (MANY books went AWOL) reasonably ok for US customers. Perhaps I should think about sending to Canadian buyers direct. Not sure it would work out much cheaper but from a PR point of view, it might be an improvement.


HOPE after all this, you enjoy it!

IMO amazon is pretty good at resolving issues though, just wait out the allotted delivery timeframe then contact them

I have to stop binge-watching whole seasons of Game of Thrones. The Steve avatar pic looks a LOT like one of the Lannisters. The next book might be Flaying Alive.

"I believe less algebra is better than a jam doughnut."

Steve actually uses this line in a really helpful section on avoiding gas toxicity. If you want to see how, go to page 93 (of the paperback).

Finally got around to reading this book. Definitely would recommended it to anyone who dives regardless of their skill level or experience. I learned quite a bit.
