Are the Words It’s about time appropriate….. On May 8 the book was finally placed on several sites. (AMAZON, BARNES and NOBLE, BOOKS A MILLION, ARCHWAY (My publisher) and even Waterston’s (A British book dealer) and SAXO (Danish)
It comes in hardcover and paperback and will soon have an E-Book (Kindle) edition. (More on that later)
My advice should you want to land a copy is to go to Amazon or Barnes and Noble. (You can click on either name and get right to the site) This book is a print on demand book - and that is the simplest way to get it. When I ordered my first copy it took about a day to get it to me from Amazon. As I test I ordered from Archway and the book has yet to arrive.
The E-book issue is a bit odd. They say it takes a couple of weeks to get the file formatted to an E-book or Kindle or iPad version. Who’d a thunk it.
If you indeed to order it, I would appreciate a review on the site - that helps build traffic - I would love to rise above current rankings.
AMAZON Best Sellers Rank: #845,679 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
- #2,498 in Job Hunting & Career Guides
- #22,621 in Philosophy (Books)
- #32,235 in Parenting & Relationships (Books)
How in the hell I got included in Parenting and Relationships or in Job Hunting, I have no idea.
One final comment - a good friend in Costa Rica is in the process of translating the book into Spanish. I have worked with him over the last couple of weeks on this process. Let me offer one example of the intricacies of translating a book. My namesake, Jonathan Archer, came to California in 1849 by sailing “around the horn” (alrededor del cuerno) but as we talked about it and I asked some friends in Mexico - the term is not common. One Mexican friend commented that Mexicans, when wanting to go from East to West, don’t think about sailing to the tip of South America. So we added a description of the term (Navegando del Atlántico al Pacífico). I am not sure when the Spanish version is coming and I am pretty sure I am not getting it translated into Danish
