Announcing a book: The Essential Guide to Mountain and Trials Unicycling - Page 4

I've just ordered myself a kindle... - any chance you could do an ebook version of the book as well as the physical one?

The full colour dual page spreads might not lend themselves to a single page black and white ebook reader but I'd be interested for the content.

Asked and answered.

I think I read that a while back as well.

Just ignore me

Eagerly anticipating this book!!! How difficult is it to sell through Amazon.com? I don't know the logistics, but several companies sell on Amazon and ship directly.

For anyone who might have missed it, the book is now available on UDC.

YES!!!! Thanks! Just ordered my copy. The price is actually much better than I anticipated. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Better price than I was expecting too!

As I've been slow ordering my Oracle hub, I'll ask Roger if he can take some to BJC. Looking forward to reading it!

Only for english-speaking countries?

Those germans and austrians (for example) daring enough to except the challenge of reading a book written in a foreign language (there are pictures in it too, aren't there) have to order theirs via the UK or american site? Because we all really do love shipping costs and currency conversions.

Yes - it's only in English for now. I hope one day to have translated versions, but for the first edition it was hard enough to produce just in English. But as you say there are 250+ nice photos - not a single page without at least one photo.

The book is available everywhere that KH unicycles are sold, so it will not be a problem to buy it in Germany or Austria.

Just got my copy, and it looks fantastic; can't wait to get reading!

There's some pretty amazing pictures in there too.

My copy came yesterday (along with a bunch of other goodies from UDC). Very nice book!

Just ordered mine. Looking forward to the read.

danger_uni · 2012-04-11, 06:24 PM

It's great to hear about the orders! Most UDC's have copies now. Qu-Ax dealers (e.g. CDK, Ajata, OddWheel) will get copies after Qu-Ax's shipment arrives April 19.

Once you have had a chance to read the book, I'd love to hear your more detailed comments on it.
