Forgot about this. Just ordered, thanks for the reminder.

Pete is looking into that but the book will need an ISBN and I suppose the people who are more likely to buy it don't need to go to Amazon to find it (where I don't think it would be any cheaper than buying direct from the publisher Lulu).

My interest in the book is that when a fellrunner goes to the immense effort of producing a book about fellrunning, written by fellrunners for fellrunners, for no personal financial gain then I believe I should play my part in encouraging the fellrunning community to give its support.

Graham, it doesn't need an ISBN to go on amazon but it is a ball ache getting it on there.
Saying that, amazon is the best place to market a book, given the sheer number of people of use it - and, as someone esle pointed out, it may come up in 'recommendations'. Hope sales continue to rise - they definately will if it goes on amazon.

Get some of the walking mags to review it if it hasn't been done. TGO, trail et al are always looking for other articles. Also Summit and then the more general running mags like runners world and running fitness.

Also fell runners are tight :-)

Has it been reviewed in "Strider"?

I first found out about it on this Forum, have ordered a copy and managed to get a 20% discount from Lulu, which helped offset the postage charge. Lulu seem to give frequent discount coupons, so it's worth checking that out before ordering. They have offered me 15% off my next order.

Getting an ISBN is not at all difficult, and unless things have changed since I did it, costs nothing.
