David Plesance (Twitter) Book: Message to subscribers of German version of "Commodore - The Inside Story"
David Pleasance, author of the book "Commodore - The Inside Story" addresses via Twitter the subscribers of the German edition of his work, especially those of the printed edition.

Due to e-mail losses, he asks for the current delivery address for sending the printed version to amiga@lookbehindyou.de with the subject: "INSIDE STORY GERMAN VERSION". Subscribers of the e-book version, on the other hand, should send their current e-mail address to info@cbmamiga.com with the subject: "COMMODORE INSIDE STORY GERMAN VERSION EBOOK".

Translated back into English, his message reads as follows:

A REQUEST TO ALL GERMAN SPEAKING COMMODORE/AMIGA FANS WHO ORDERED THE GERMAN VERSION OF MY BOOK "COMMODORE THE INSIDE STORY" AS PRINTED VERSION:

As some of you know, I had a health impairment in July and August last year, which even led to a hospital stay and a (minor) surgery.

As a result, I was not productive for almost three months and therefore unfortunately missed the Christmas printing deadline. As you might guess, this is the time of year when all authors and publishers want to get their books out there - the season of giving.

In the next few days, I will receive three estimates for printing the German edition of Commodore - The Inside Story, giving not only the current printing costs, but also an approximate date for receiving the finished product.

At this point, I expect the books to be available by the end of March.

In addition to this "challenge", I unfortunately also experienced an administrative nightmare when my email provider, Godaddy, in its inexhaustible wisdom (and a certain greed), decided to stop providing its customers with the "free" email that was included with the registration of our domain name.

Instead, they insisted on forcing everyone to use Microsoft Outlook - which, of course, entails a monthly fee.

Unfortunately, in my case, when Godaddy made the transfer from their system to Microsoft, much of my data disappeared - hundreds of emails dissolved into the ether, never to be seen again, and what's worse, neither company wants to take responsibility for this disaster.

Why am I telling you all this? The reason is that I want to make sure I know your current shipping address so that I can properly deliver your copy of Commodore - The Inside Story in German translation.

I am aware that due to the delay in printing this edition, some of you may have changed your address in the meantime anyway.

Since all German copies of this book will be shipped from Germany to avoid customs problems, I ask each of you to send an email with your complete mailing address for delivery to amiga@lookbehindyou.de. Please mark your email with the subject INSIDE STORY GERMAN VERSION.

However, for those of you who ordered the E-BOOK version, we will send it to you from the UK - so please send an email with the subject COMMODORE INSIDE STORY GERMAN VERSION EBOOK to info@cbmamiga.com. (snx)
