Liang,

where do I go to order your book? Your website?

Cheers

Chris

Hey Chris!

Done! I've reserved one for you. Will give more details later. Printers are still churning them out and I only expect to have them delivered to me in mid August.

Yep, I'm really really interested in ordering a catapult set, whether or not it needs to be assembled. :D

That is the prefix for (Professional, Certified, Qualified) Engineer, like Dr. stands for Doctor.
Been around for a while now, more than 10 years, I think, but not many use it.

Current exchange rate: 1 SGD = 0.4943 EUR

Our postage/parcel depends on weight, not so much bulk package, unless you really are ordering like 100 or so.

Suggestion to LJM for the international pricing to be based on the USD rather than SGD, somewhat easier for everyone to convert to their own currencies.

Therefore:

USD$29.99 + S/H

Good point. I'll edit my first post with the approximate S/H rates.

The rates quoted are Airmail rates so delivery to Europe should be no longer than 1 week max.

I can ship via surface mail which would be a lot cheaper but they you'll probably have to wait something like 4 weeks to get the book. Only makes sense if you are in no hurry to get the book and/or you are ordering in bulk.

You want to help distribute books where you live? Do you know any bookstore keeper or Castle-giftshop owner or belong to a wargaming/historical society/club and need more than just a couple of books? I can offer slightly better rates for bulk orders and you can then sell them at the full price and earn the difference. Distributor discounts are from 30% to 40% (for bulk orders of 200 copies and above).

Anyone else want a copy?
