    Hi @Palustris I get my books off Amazon the same and pre-order sometimes...in case you never get a book come through properly this is what you need to do, unless you know already ;)

    You can get the updated version of this book by going to Manage your Content & Devices. Find the book under Your Content tab, click on the "Update Available" button next to the book's title, and then follow the update prompts. All your devices that have the eBook currently downloaded will be updated automatically the next time they connect to wireless.

    The only problem we have with Amazon is that their Delivery drivers cannot find us.

    Is it down to your postcode or actually finding you in the area you live?...if I have any questions I like to chat with a representative on line.

    Satnavs tell the drivers they have arrived when they are still over a mile away from us, so they turn round and go to their next delivery. Have spent many hours talking to Amazon Customer Services about giving exact info on how to find us all to no avail.

    It only takes their satnavs to not be updated or older, that will stop them...my hubby as a TomTom and he always keeps it updated but you know how they alter roads, half the time it doesn't recognize a new turning.

    It must be frustrating though when you've ordered something and you've got this game half the time :shrug:

    Even more annoying when our next door neighbours with the same postcode, but Amazon Prime can get things delivered. Their stuff comes from a different Depot so the van comes from the other direction where we are first in the post code area, not last as we are from the other end of the lane.
    Penalties of living in a very rural spot. Could have things delivered to Teaspots in the next town, but that is a bit of a faff.
    Just sent the manuscript for the next book off to the editor. May get it done for Xmas, or may not,depends on how busy he is at work.

    Yes. I think I have 9 out at the moment. Go to Amazon and Search 'Eric Marsh' in Children's Books for a full list of them.

    Out of interest, I get no Royalties from them. We put them on at the price Amazon charge for printing them.

    You've stated you don't get royalties from them but if I purchase you still get some money from the selling plus I know the grand kids would like them :)

    Sorry, should have explained about the royalties. Since we only ever expected to sell to family and friends it seemed a bit 'off' to add money to the price of the books. Plus, if any of them had ever taken off and become best sellers I would have had to declare the income for tax purposes which is a job and a quarter, so we did not bother. It is not a problem.
    I am almost impossible to offend as I always believe the best of people.
