Damn I wish this had arrived a week ago!
I just received an email from my publisher with details of an offer that you can, should you be inclined to do so, use to get 25% off the cost of any of my books.
If by any chance you didn't know that I had written any books this is your chance to find out about them.
They can be found by going to the publishing web site's author spotlight which is at
http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Robert_Hale_travel_and_poetry
Details of how to get the discount are as follows.
1. Order the books.
2. When you get to the checkout use coupon code LULUBOOKUK305
The following terms and conditions apply
"Disclaimer: Use coupon code LULUBOOKUK305 at checkout and receive 25% off your order. The maximum savings with this promotion is £50. You can only use the code once per account, and you can't use this coupon in combination with other coupon codes. This great offer ends on 31 January 2012 at 11:59 PM PST. While very unlikely Lulu.com reserves the right to change or revoke this offer at anytime, and of course we cannot offer this coupon where it is against the law to do so. Finally, Lulu.com incurs the cost of this discount, so it does not impact the Author's proceeds of the book. This coupon does not work with self-purchases, i.e., if you are the author of the book you are trying to purchase, you cannot use this coupon. This coupon will work for multiple titles but savings cannot go past the maximum of £50."
And I said "Damn" at the start because only a week ago a friend of mine purchased nine of my books to be distributed among various other friends as presents. Could have saved some money there. Oh well, c'est la vie.
Please feel free to tell all your friends and relations about the offer or, if you don't want to inflict my writing on friends and relations please feel free to tell all your enemies about it.
