Ross Brawn's new book

[Dr Z]

I just finished reading it. It was a thoroughly edifying read. I particularly enjoyed reading his perspective on the Ferrari domination years, 2009 and generally the machinations of Bernie. There is a chapter on the future of F1 which should be recommended reading for the new overlords of F1.

Just ordered it..

Hardback - so £5.99 but delivery now in 1 - 2 months - no1 best seller in F1.

Apparently may see it before Christmas if I'm lucky - so it will be a nice present to myself ;-)

S.

Any ideas why hardback is 5.99 and paperback is £9.99?

thats some gouging for the early purchasers !

The incremental cost of each subsequent book on Kindle is bugger all.

My point is that £2.99 is a lot unless it's all going to the producers of the book.

Does it talk about MS?

Got a message from Amazon saying it will be delivered on the 10th of November. That's after initially quoting 16 December... must have got some stock from somewhere.

My point is that those who bought it what, less than seven days ago, paid a tenner more for it.

The incremental cost of a paper book is also bugger all, it doesn't cost £3 per book to print and ship. Remember that a chunk of ebook revenue goes to HMRC which is not the case for paper books. £2.99 is nothing by the time it's split between HMRC, Amazon, the publisher and Ross.

Glad I didn't buy it when it was £12. Was going to wait for a proper book at Christmas but not when the ebook is £3 cheaper
