My new book Love Vintage - now available.
My new book on vintage clothing is now available through bookshops in Australia and New Zealand - and purchase through my Melbourne shop Circa for
$50.
Interested parties are welcome to contact me for a copy, and I can sign it and send it to you - unfortunately, it's a large book and weighs almost
1.5 kg so postage isn't cheap ($49.50 AUS to send airmail to the UK, $39.30 airmail to the US).
I've posted a list of costings (and local bookshops) to Circa's website, you can see it here. If you'd like a price for a location that's not
covered, please let me know.
You can read a review of the book here. The book will not be available through Amazon at this time.

How exciting, Nicole! I've been wondering what to ask my husband to get me for Christmas....
Congratulations! I know what hard work it is to write, and write. And re-write. And do it again and again. At the end of it all, you feel like you've
given birth!

Nicole -
Is there a way we can order an autographed copy from you or is the order direct from the publisher? Are there any plans to have it available on
Amazon at some point? (Much less expensive shipping for those of us in the US.)

Sadly, it's not available on Amazon - a great pity, shipping overseas from Australia is quite expensive.
Here are the rates:
UK - Air $49.50 Sea $26.80
US - Air $39.30 Sea $26.80
The good news is that for overseas people, there is no GST applicable so the book itself costs $45 instead of $50. That's AUS $, so a copy of the
book plus seamail shipping would be US $64.90 according to xe.com's latest rates. Airmail is US$76.19.
The publisher can provide shipping quotes
too, but a signed copy will need to come from Circa.

Nicole. Sorry for my late response. I would love to order a copy of course! Could you sign it for me please? I would love that. My husband, Simon is buying this for me (early Christmas pressie!) so I'm
just about to send you a U2U with his PayPal address.

I, too, am putting your book on my wish list for Christmas. Hope DH remembers that he needs to shop early to allow mailing time! (He forgot that
last year!)

I've just found an Australian online bookshop that can send copies overseas - I don't know what their rates are but it sounds like it's better than
Australia Post. Interested parties might like to investigate:
The Bookshelf of Oz.
If anyone does try it, can you please let me know: I'm interested to know how it compares.

Your book looks like essential reading, and is going on Santa's list here at TinTrunk towers too.

Nicole -
Just ordered your book from The Bookshelf of Oz. I had to open and account (register) and then it was a breeze! Paid by PayPal. I will let
everyone know when it arrives. It was about $20.00 by "economy air."
I'm really excited!!!

I received an order confirmation that the book has shipped and should take 2-3 weeks to the US by air.
Nicole - you are welcome to come sign my copy anytime!

Nicole - Beautiful cover. I'd pick it up. Can't wait to peak inside!
Let me know if someone orders them in bulk and divides a bulk shipping rate between the books in the bulk order.

Rightio everyone
I've found out that Carter's (the
publisher) can ship them for cheaper than I can via Australia Post - Carter's use Skippy Post, like
Bookshelf of Oz, but unlike BoO they
get a rate of $29.99 AUS to send airmail to the US - BoO are quoting $20 according to Linn, so that's a pretty good deal.
I can sign copies you buy directly from me (via Circa) but it's a big saving to go to either Carter's or Bookshelf of Oz. KK from Atticville came up
with a good suggestion - if you order the book through another method, I can send you an insert, upon which I can sign or write an inscription,
whatever you like. Happy to cover the cost of postage to any VFG member anywhere in the world.
How does that sound? The book itself is $50 to Australia, and $45 elsewhere (no GST is applicable).
Nicole

Nicole -
I would love a signed insert. I will let you know when I receive the book. I think the total amount of the order was $72.00 USD or close (I'm not
home right now) and the differerence was due to a fluctuation in the exchange rate.) I paid by PayPal. Very easy and quick.

Thanks Linn - if you send me your postal address I'll send you an insert. Let me know if you want me to write anything in particular.
You don't have to wait until you get it, with a bit of luck they'll get there the same time.
