My new book, a memoir of my experiences in working in the UK porn business is now available here: https://www.createspace.com/3478205 or here: http://www.amazon.com/Welcome-Pornoland ... 419&sr=1-1
It charts my experiences from working with the then unknown Ben Dover on early films through to working for Private, Score Group and Viv Thomas to managing Fantasy Publications to becoming a producer for Television X and more. Features anecdotes of many well known adult and mainstream celebrities including The Bay City Rollers, Paul McCartney and David and Victoria Beckham. An amusing and insightful look at the British adult industry 'from the inside', this reads like a cross between 'Boogie Nights' and 'Carry On'!

Its a bit expensive in my opinion.

If it was a fiver, or 6.99 and I could get it delivered from amazon for about a tenner, I would probably get a copy. Seriously. I order a lot of books from amazon, and I consider a tenner (Which it normally is) to be an amount I am happy to take a punt on...

As it stands, its nearly ?13 without delivery... Add delivery say ?4.00, and your looking at just shy of ?20.

But make it an even tenner, (Book + P&P) and I think you'd probably shift quite a few...

Cool. I'm not being a cheap ass, but like a lot of people, I personally enjoy amazon as my bookshop of choice. I also like the fact that they have my credit card details for one click orders.

I actually bought a book just a few days ago: 'Syrup'

I considered purchasing yours, but with Syrup being on the cheaper side of the tenner, Syrup got my order.

Like I say, had yours been ?10, or even ?11/ ?12 inclusive - I would have ordered.

Hopefully you can see this is genuine personal feedback, and not a dig saying 'Its too expensive... Whahhh'

Its just that as a regular book buyer / reader, I consider ?10 to be a nice price point that attracts me. I also feel that at ten pounds verses nearly twenty, I am going to go for the ten each time, simply because it means I can get two books for the price of 1

This was the breakdown of the syrup costs:

-----


Your order #202-6593591-XXXXXX (received December 02, 2010)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qty Item Price Delivery Subtotal

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amazon.co.uk items (Sold by Amazon EU S.a.r.L.):

1 Syrup ?6.36 1 ?6.36

Dispatched via Royal Mail (estimated arrival date: December 08, 2010).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item Subtotal: ?6.36
Delivery and handling: ?2.75
Total: ?9.11

This completes your order.

---

So once its gonna be less than ?12 inclusive from Amazon - I will snap it up right away...

Congrats on getting it written by the way. Lots of people say they are going to write a book, but never do, so fair play to you Rico :)
