Sorry BookCat: If you'd like to try again, copy in my alternative address to be double sure: ntmarrATaliceadsl.fr (use the @ sign, natch). Otherwise, you can pm me your email address here at MR. Apologies again. Hope no other requests have gone astray. As you know, spam filters can be over-enthusiastic at times and -- even checking before deleting them as I do -- it's sometimes easy to overlook a genuine email from a name you don't recognise straight off. Look forward to hearing from you. Neil

Oops ... duplicate post. Wish I could work out how to delete a message when that happens. There appears only to be the 'edit' option. Hoots. Neil

Hi Neil
I just finished the Cube Root of Tme by Herbert Cohen, it was fantastic. What a good read. Thank you very much for the book. Regards, Daryl |

Just a wee update folks (and sure the offer to MR friends is still open):
All new-release BB titles are now available in PDF, ePub and Mobi, and we're about half way through converting the rest of the catalogue. My tech partner, Tony Szmuk in Canada, is doing it carefully, title-by-title, rather than using an auto converter. It takes longer, but the result is superb. We now have official registration in the US (after a long, tedious and expensive legal journey). It will be rubber-stamped next week and we can start dealing direct with all the major new US-based ebook stores and uploading our own well-formatted files rather than working through an auto-conversion third-party for US retail. Not that it affects ebooks much, but the US office is staffed and we now have agency representation in the US and Spanish/English representation in Latin America for treebooks. A fully staffed BeWrite Books bureau opens in Australia in October/Nov (headed editorially by old friend and colleague, Meredith Whitford, ex of Jacobyte Books) and we signed a print deal in August for print and distribution in Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific Rim Counties. That'll make a huge difference to paperbacks, but ebooks again won't really benefit ... any further than the fact that there are no geographical restrictions on ebooks from our own site and there is strictly no DRM, so Australian ebook reading folks can help themselves without hassle. Already this year, our amazing Chinese agent has placed six BB titles with major publishers for mass-run paperback print on the mainland, and we had more than seventy BB titles exclusively represented (treebook and ebook) at last month's massive Beijing International Book Fair. Waiting with fingers crossed for the result. All's tickling along nicely ... but the 17x7 working week is taking its toll. Time for a weekend off, methinks --- if only! Cheers chaps and chappettes. Neil PS: Browsing through this thread just now brought a tear stinging to my eye when I read our late, well-loved friend Patricia's kind posts. What a lovely lass she was.

Thanks to those who've already asked for books. They were all sent this morning (sorry if our different time zones meant up to twelve hours' delay for some). Don't forget to tell me which format you prefer if you're dropping me a line with a title request, chaps and chappettes. Happy reading. Neil

Loads of ebooks happily sent out now and, I hope, happily received.
When you're browsing the list, folks, do bear in mind that some titles are available still only in PDF (the formats are clearly shown) -- that will be fixed soon. And don't forget to let me know your preferred format when you drop a line. Thanks to everyone for the interest and the requests. Always a pleasure to offer a wee something to pals here ... especially those having difficulty in some parts of the world actually buying books they want. Our catalogue is nowhere near as long as the big boys', but there's pretty well something for everyone. Cheers for now. Neil ntmarrATbewrite.net (use the @ sign, natch) |

What an amazing offer! For those of us battling geographic restrictions on the other side of the world this is a breath of fresh air. Thanks Neil

Thanks for the generosity Neil! I'm thoroughly enjoying The Stones of Petronicus, which I'm about 2/3 of the way through. It is a beautifully written fantasy/epic, coming of age tale. I'd highly recommend it to anyone even though it is a young adult book.
Neil also sent me all 3 of the books currently in the series, without my even asking! -Marcy |

Such an amazing offer that I immediately logged on and bought Prestwick by David Hough and Target Market by Mark Moehlman.
Here is a thought, once you download your 10th book you will get the 11th for free. Nothing like knowing your business is appreciated. Another thought, after finishing the purchase, if you had a separate shipping e-mail address, that could be added to the accepted document addresses on Manage My Kindle page and then I could actually purchase the books directly into my Kindle. Especially practical when traveling without a laptop in the luggage. Last edited by Kumabjorn; 09-17-2010 at 04:51 AM. |
