Hi there fellow unicyclists… I am just learning to ride (can go about 30 feet
before bailing) and am interested in purchasing
_The_Complete_Book_of_Unicycling but since I live in Canada I have run across
some difficulties in trying to obtain it. I tried to order it from my campus
bookstore, and after waiting 4 weeks they told me the publisher wanted the
money before sending the book. I was informed that after going through the
necessary red tape it would take another 8-10 weeks to get the book in my
hands. I was wondering if anyone else has purchased the book in Canada and if
they have can they send me the name of the bookstore along with the address. I
would prefer a Canadian address (nothing against you Yanks, but the money
difference plus the duty is crazy) Thanks in advance.

The publisher is the author, Jack Wiley. He has been burned in sales and by
publishers before, so that’s why he is probably paranoid. If you haven’t had any
luck in Canada, try ordering directly from him:
Solipaz Publishing Co.
P.O. Box 366 Lodi, CA 95241
The company is the man. Send $27.95, plus $2.00 shipping. If you can get your
hands on $30 US, there may be no further problems because you are not going
through a bookstore. If he cannot send it that way, he will let you know,
probably a lot faster than any bookstore.
Good luck!
