Desmond7 Posted 8 June , 2007 Share Posted 8 June , 2007 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Unionists-Great-Co...9/dp/071652872X My congrats to the bold Swizz who hails from God's Country on the publication of her excellent volume. I've been trying to PM the poor lass back but summat has happened and the system won't let me!! Suffice to say, aside from her decision to forsake the blue skies of Ulster for the misty grey skies of somewhere in Englandshire (silly woman got married) she is a totally sound indvidual who has helped me out a lot. The book hasn't reached my direction yet but Waterstones in my home town will shortly be getting the message. Big round of is called for. Clap .......

swizz Posted 9 June , 2007 Share Posted 9 June , 2007 Thanks everyone (esp Des - I have PMed you!). Having spent more than three years doing the research I must say it's very satisfying to see the end result in print (and exciting to see it for sale in bookshops!)

ianw Posted 9 June , 2007 Share Posted 9 June , 2007 This sounds like an important study with lots of resonances today. Well done Swizz. It must be good, Amazon are only giving a 5% discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond7 Posted 9 June , 2007 Author Share Posted 9 June , 2007 A short essay by Swizz and two articles by Prof. Keith Jeffrey (who is, I think, either doing or has just finished a history of MI5!!) can be found at this link. Well worth reading even if I do so so say selfmy! http://www.freewebs.com/ireland1418/aftermath.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce Posted 20 June , 2007 Share Posted 20 June , 2007 I notice comments about amazon. For each copy of my book that they sell, I get £3.40. I retail it at £10. They charge £11.99, plus p&p. No wonder they make money! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelab Posted 22 June , 2007 Share Posted 22 June , 2007 You can get your own back on Amazon by joining their Associates programme! I can't remember the percentages, but when you make a direct link to an Amazon book from your own website, using the special code they give you, *you* get say 7 percent of the cover price on its sales (it doesn't have to be your own book). And if the buyer then wanders off through the Amazon site and orders a DVD, an Ipod and some children's toys, that you *didn't* link to, you still get a (smaller) commission. I do this from my own website, and it certainly helps to defray the costs of *my* book (not WWI-related). Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
