The Book - Out of Stock

By Tangotiger, 10:05 AM

The Book is out of stock at Amazon, B&N, and Buy.com. I have no idea when it will be back in stock. It may be in stock at the publisher, but I cannot confirm that. You can try placing your order there.

Someone at Ebay has five copies in stock, reasonably priced.

An Amazon merchant in Canada has one as well.

You can also give this ISBN to your local bookstore to see if they can locate it somewhere: 9781597971294

So this means that The Book is selling well, right?

Up until it was out of stock, it was selling fine. No real month-to-month dips. We envisioned it as a timeless book, and that’s what we were getting.

Tom,

I bought the book at Borders yesterday. It really is an awesome book. I haven’t quite gotten through the “tool shed” yet, but I’m learning quite a bit. I’ve dabbled with some linear weights to evaluate player performance in the past and wanted to learn more.

David, thanks for the kind words.

We really spent an inordinate amount of time to really tighten it up, and we really appreciate any support in return.

The eBay merchant sold it out. The Canadian merchant still has at least one copy apparently. I have no idea otherwise.

Good news Tom.

Amazon just sent my order today. I should be receiving it within a week.

Well, that’s fantastic. Thanks for the update.

I see by the top of this page that Amazon has it back in stock.

Thanks guys for all your patience. Our hands were really tied on this one.

This is the very last time I do not self-publish.

My copy arrived today. I saw it was out of stock with Amazon, so I ordered it direct from the publisher. So they still have copies - unless I took the last one. Fire up the presses, time for a reprint.

Love the site, looking forward to the book.
Cheers,
M.
