Hi Mathias,

Is the book likely to be produced in a hard copy version and if so, when?

Bob

Will it also be available for download on PC, Win tablet and Win phone ?

Hi


Ragnar is currently on his way to Tallin to arrange the final details regarding hardcopy print.
Other digital distribution channels will be used.
Im looking at google play books and amazon. Any other stores in mind? Please suggest and I will look into it.

Amazon would be great. I am looking forward to reading this.


Mike

Will there be any preview/contents available? For those who already have Antal & Skanaker's old book, it would be great to know how different the two books are. Apparently this is not simply a reprint, so more info would be appreciated.

I expect to buy the book for Amazon Kindle and/or printed copy.

Please inform the forum when the hard copy is available.

Thanks (again)!

The book is good so far. The format in iTunes is not the same as other books I have read and is a little frustrating since you are not able to turn pages easy.

The information is very good and easy to understand. I would recommend it to any level of shooter. 6 chapters in it seems like it would be excellent for entry to mid level shooters. An advanced shooter should also benefit from reading it as well since there are some tidbits that make you rethink what you have been doing.

I agree with Chris. A very comprehensive book on ISSF style shooting with some very good advice. The English is quite quaint in some sections and very polished in others and seem to have been written by different authors.

Highly recommended to any level shooter but especially newcomers.

Bob

Is there any information when the book will be available on the google play market?

The hardcopy will be ready for distribution around beginning of July.

The English version is a translation of the updated, edited and modernised Swedish text.
Compared to the original the chapters on planning and competition has gotten som more meat and been edited to flow better with the book structure.
Others are basically the same but updated according to current ISSF rules etc.

Google Play books does not accept new submissions, and this has been a fact since last autumn.
I have thus no idea when this option could be viable.

I decided however that the book is too media rich be be well formatted as an epub, so I have been looking at marketplaces that accepts pdfs.
Its now available in the links below.

Hi Mathias,

If we have already purchased the iBook version, can we get some sort of discount on either or both the PDF and/or printed version?

Bob

Generally we will try to arrange for discounts if you buy several media formats, but let me come back with more information after I have discussed it further with Ragnar and Pontus.

Keep your electronic receipts as we would need that for verification.

This was posted almost a month ago. Any further news on the paper edition?

Thanks!

Howdy folks

You can order a hardcopy from me directly (I assume an English version, but I have some Swedish copies left).

Cost will be 20 USD + shipping, normally 17 USD for the US and suprisingly a little higher for Europe.
But send me a pm if you are interested and I will give the exact total amount.

Payment by paypal. I ship with parcel tracking.

take care
