It is of course up to the retailer as to what price they sell the book for, we provide them with a guide retail price and a purchase price (70% of the guide price). It is within their right to raise or lower the price to what they see fit. Any difference in the sale price and the price they buy the book for is kept by the them. So for example if Amazon sold your book for £30 and it cost them £6 they would pocket £24 and likewise if they sold the same book for £5 they would take a £1 loss. Hope that answers the question, Oli (more)

Just an update on my previous message; Amazon are now selling my book for £9.99 with no reduction for 'free' delivery. WHSmith are also selling at £9.99 but I am unable to check at Waterstones as their site is currently down. Perhaps you could check yourself later. Another couple of questions while I'm here; Amazon are still selling versions of the book with the old cover (I updated it several months ago). I know this as I asked them to change the cover on their website but they did a 'bin check' and found the old cover version was still in stock. The second question is about sales in September; were there any? Thanks. Andrew (more)

I have been in to edit my cover now, but when I save and exit, it only goes as far as checking print compliance and seems to stick there. (more)

For scenery I would recommend going for some drives up/down the coast in a convertible, highway 1 all the way. If you you like hiking, go over the Golden Gate taking a walk around the Marin Hill.s and finish your day in Sausalito. In the city you should definitely check out the Golden Gate Park, on Thursdays they have events at the museum. We enjoyed a drink at Bourbon and Branch, a prohibition bar. It is a bit wanky as you have to go onto their website and get a password to go in but the cocktails and atmosphere make up for it. Then I would check out one of the many street fairs, on pretty much every weekend. We didn't do the Alcatraz trip but were told we have to many times. If you are travelling around the area and can make it to Yosemite or Lake Tahoe they are well worth the visit - stunning places. Great to hear everything is going well. Oli (more)
