Thanks for that. Obviously the clerk just assumed and my mom assumed as well.

That would suck if it stopped printing. You can get it in pretty much any book store though right? Not just in Aus?

Right, you can get it in the US. If your local store does not have it use the link I provided above to have borders order it for you and then you can go pick it up at the closest borders.

It's near on impossible to buy over here through the normal retail chains - Borders Aust. included. Probably to do more with the distribution of the publishers. Although Robert's an Australian author, the printers / distributors is an American company. You actually have a far greater chance of buying it retail in the States than you do here in Aus.

Easiest way to get it is buy it online - go to AP's main home page - astralpulse.com The link will be staring you in the face. An online puchase through AP will be forwarded on to Robert personally, so he can arrange to send you an autographed copy. I think these end up getting shipped from Perth, Aust.

Wow i never realised it was hard to get over here. There's a bookshop i go to here in Melbourne called the Theosophical Society bookshop. I went there and got it first time.

Anyway, good luck with finding it. I just have to get my copy back from my cousin now so i can continue reading it [

Man you scared me! Even if it was not printing, you could always buy it from used books. But what are the odds of those places having them? Most people think AP is crazy.

You can always search Ebay. Ebay's good for things that've become hard to find.

Anyone know how long it would take for the book to get to Melbourne Victoria?... I ordered it almost two weeks ago off Astral Pulse and I'm just wondering how much longer I have to wait.

Thanks

Not sure, I was also thinking of just ordering it right off this website..

Syke, another Melbournian! How cool [8D] Where abouts are you?

Ordering through AP is definitely the way to go. I think he does ask for up to a couple of weeks for the order to be processed. I had a problem with my order, and got in contact with Robert through email. He was really helpful, and once we got the problem sorted, he told me the book's been posted, and I got it a couple of days later. It was sent from Perth.

If your concerned that it's taking a bit too long, PM Adrian first and he can either check with the PayPal mob, or put you in touch with Robert.

Thanks James, I'll give it a around a week and if it hasn't turned up still I might see if theres any problems.

I'm from the northern suburbs, close to Broadmeadows. It's a pain living so far away cause a lot of my friends and my schools in the Essendon area which is ages away on public transport.

Thanks again for your suggestions and I hope to see the book soon.

It probably stopped printing some places because some printers are religious and wont print "the work of satan!" Or somebody in a government could think the same way.

I like the idea of getting the autographed copy, however if you want to go right to the publisher, the website link is posted below. [

Hi Syke,
At the risk of carrying on an off-topic conversation -
I live down south east in Narre Warren. I know what you mean about being far away. Although I now work at Mount Waverly, which isn' too far away, I used to wourk in at South Melbourne. A lot of people I worked with lived in the inner city area, and to them, anything east of Malvern was out in the bush!

Having said that, I used to live on the outskirts of Sydney. It only takes about 40 minutes to drive into the city frm where I am. In Sydney it used to take me 1.5 to 2 hours!

Take care,
James.

The topic title may alarm some of you, but when my mom went to Australia, she took the liberty to look for Astral Dynamics for me. I even told her it was written by Robert Bruce. Now either the clerk couldn't find it in the database and assumed it, or he was right, but he said it stopped printing. This is odd, it's a recent book, and usually books only stop printing after several years...
