It's available in hardcover, because I bought one.

(They tend to last a lot longer than the 'glued spine' softcovers, so I prefer to get proper bindings if they exist.)

Really - I never got that option!

The link I got only gave a soft-copy option... off for a grumble tomorrow!

I never buy soft-copies unless there is no alternative.

Just turned from happy customer into disgruntled one.

It is however still a good book.

Default Hardcover from where, plz?

Hi Chris ,

Hardcover is available from where, please? I agree with you about the bindings, but I've trawled through the sellers and the only reference to hardcovers is as an exclusive for those who participated in the Kickstarters programme which ended in April (before I knew of the book).

Mike

Thanks Tim, if there was a 'like' button, I'd have pressed it.

Ah, oops!

The hardcover was only available via the Kickstarter campaign.

Apologies (I'd forgotten that small detail - then again, it was last April, and the arrival of the book took me by surprise.)



Chris.

Chris / Mike

The author has advised that when volume 2 comes out it may be possible to get that and vol 1 in hardback - if he thinks there is a demand.

Sadly I missed the Kickstarter - too much else in life to think about - and only saw it once it was only available in softback.

It seems to only (?) have been advertised on Facebook in the British & Commonwealth Webbing forum.

Default Thanks Tim

Think I'll not wait for vol2 - if it turns out to be as good as it looks, I'll consider buying both vols later in HB. Good reference books never go out of style.
