The publisher is discussing with some French game distributors and he is hopeful to reach a deal soon. Anyway, since November 2 the book will be on sale on my eBay store at 24,95 euros. If economics permit it, I'll offer free shipping in Europe

(I don't know how heavy is, but at 222 pages it will be quite impressive

What size? At 222 pages it'd make a nice copy of the Mentzer Digest Red Rule Book. Is it BW throughout or does it have colour inserts?

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

A5 sized. No colour inserts (they would have pushed costs too high) but a lof of images.

This sounds to be a great deal more valuable/useful/usable than the 'Ultimate' pamphlet for $20 thats getting such poor reviews.

Definitely English, from the copy I've seen.

English only. Albeit is really painful to say so for me, writing the book in Italian would have ensured a circulation of some hundreds of copies at most :cry:

English ensures a far bigger circulation and we noticed a lot of interest by various European distributors and stores

Printed copies will be shipped to them next week (they of course will use the Saint Thomas rule as we say in Italy: "Seeing it is believing in it"

) and we will wait hopefully for their orders. We hope to involve the Alliance colossus as well... Italy has got a great reputation for game production (War of the Ring, Bang!, Wings of War...) so I hope to capitalize on such goodwill

Thanks for your answers, Allessandro.
Its weight is circa 275g : 222 pages * 1.125g per A5 page + ~25g for the cover

If you're interested in a US-based fulfillment house for US-based shipping, Alessandro, email me and Jon and we can certainly talk about it.

I'm no expert at this - this is one of my publisher's domains - but I'd wait to have a copy in my hands to state the exact weight of the book

If the book and the packing stay under 350 grams, free European shipping is feasible.

@ Allan: business is in the hands of the publisher of course (except for my own sales

). I guess he will try with Alliance first, but I'll let him know of your proposal. Thanks
