Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah wondered why it had dropped off my amazon wishlist

 

[Shewie]

Tony mentioned this was gonna happen a while ago, it'd be nice to find out if somebody else is going to publish it though.

 

[wattsy]

apparently the fieldcraft one is still going to be published though?

 

[Gweedo]

I've just had the same notification from Amazon. Anyone have any idea why it's been deleted?

 

[Puddock]

I can't see how as Fieldcraft is Volume 2? I suspect that will be cancelled by Amazon tomorrow. Very disappointing!

 

[Pandabean]

Aww I was looking forward to these books especially the fieldcraft book. Was there any reason as to why they have been dropped and whether they will be back?

 

[Shewie]

Some info from Tony in another thread ...

I wonder if the publishers or Mr. Mears agents have withdrawn it due to unfair competition from Amazon?

I've no idea on the prices, but obviously; usually you get a discount price from Amazon, so people are going to buy it there if it's cheaper than elsewhere?

Just my "horribly cynical" take on the matter
