With the release of my latest book, I went to Amazon to see if my previous works are currently available (SR-71: yes; B-47/B-52: yes; Vol 1: currently no). In the process, I was surprised to see that there is a *hardback* version of my SR-71 book available. This is surprising for several reasons…
1: No mention of it was made to me by the publisher
2: It’s a relatively slim volume for a hardback
3: There has been some discussion, so far quite preliminary, of an expanded version of the SR-71 book at some point in the future, which would be more appropriate as a hardback.
Anyway, the listing looks like this:
“Huh,” sez I, so I click on the “hardback” link to see what it looks like. And… it looks like this:
Wait, what?
Now, that’s a perfectly fine book. I have a copy myself. But it’s not *my* book.
I also noticed that there are 187 reviews, which is substantially more than I recall there being. And that’s because the reviews for Goodall’s book are mashed in with reviews for mine.
Somebody hit the wrong button somewhere.
So if you want to get a copy or three of my book – an urge I wholeheartedly support – just make sure you order the right book. I’ve contacted the publisher about this and they’re baffled; they’ve contacted the people they need to to try to get this weirdness resolved.
Oh, and there’s this, for whatever it’s worth:
Woo, and, indeed, hoo.
