Linkmeister (we’re not worthy, etc.) very kindly brings our attention (via comment here) to the fact that our humble offering THE BIG O is currently retailing on Amazon.com for the princely sum of $195.36. Yep, that’s right - $195.36 (plus $3.99 post + packaging). And, while it’s nice to know the elves at Amazon.com are every bit as capable at getting it wrong once in a while as the elves here at CAP, even we’d be pushed to justify that kind of extravagance. So, purely as a public service announcement, we would like to gently direct you to the Hag’s Head Press website, where a spanking new copy of THE BIG O is available at a significantly cheaper and – let’s face it – far more plausible cost-to-worth price. No, don’t thank us, we’re only doing our job …
Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean (Declan Burke, right, with Chief Helper Elf, the Princess Lilyput) but is in fact quite happy to share the latest news, reviews, gossip and slander about the dicks, dames and desperados of (mostly) Irish crime fiction in order to plug his own novels. We thank you for your cooperation. Contact: dbrodb(at)gmail.com. For agent enquiries, etc., contact Allan Guthrie, c/o Jenny Brown Associates.

And what a ripper bunch they are, those Hag's Head folks! I ordered a copy of The Big O in early December, and when it didn't turn up (even taking into account the many miles between there and here [Australia]) I emailed them to check its whereabouts. The lovely people immediately emailed back with many apologies, a new copy was dispatched, and it arrived today. Hooray for everything!
Glad to hear it arrived safe and sound, Katherine ... keep us posted as to how it treats you. Cheers, Dec
Criminy, $3.99 seems a bit high for shipping, doesn't it?

I was sure it was a signed copy they were selling, and felt ready to cash mine in.
