I just hope that DEAD MAN' S QUARRY is not permanently removed as a print book. Seems to me that the correction can be done fairly quickly given that the digital copy can be used as a source. I don't know why it's taking so long.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-58426782596068816492015-05-16T08:38:03.076-05:002015-05-16T08:38:03.076-05:00That one copy is being offered by an avaricious re...That one copy is being offered by an avaricious reseller. I got my copy direct from Amazon and paid only $14 with no shipping fee. Unfortunately, there were some very bad printing errors (not minor typos) and I reported them to the publisher. He has temporarily removed the print copy from sale while those errors are corrected. Shouldn't be too long, but sorry you have to wait to order a copy.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787364257168822822.post-50319521116801611642015-05-16T07:12:08.680-05:002015-05-16T07:12:08.680-05:00It sounds wonderful!
