WHERE TO BUY IT

Definitely Amazon.com and hopefully all the Amazons worldwide (each country has their own stocks). Other book retailers are to be confirmed.

Here’s how this works:
1) The book is sent to the wholesale printers and the publication date (November 1st 2025) is set.
2) As of November 1st, the printers notify book sellers around the world that Tails of the World is available to stock. It can take up to four weeks for retailers to pick it up and prices to settle. Usually Australia, UK and USA pick it up first and then other countries follow suit once they see there is a demand.
3) Anyone from the big guys like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, to smaller retailers, can choose to stock our book. It’s the retailers who decide if, when, how much and how many they’re going to stock. We have absolutely no control over any of that!

BULK ORDER QUESTIONS

  • There’s only two reasons I’m offering this:

    1) Some locations do not have free or cheap shipping options available to them through the usual retailers like Amazon.

    2) Some photographers last year expressed an interest in being able to package and present the books themselves to their clients. If that’s something that floats your boat, then this is the option for you!

    If you live in an area that can typically order easily through Amazon etc. and you don’t mind not packaging the books yourself, then I would save yourself the headache and just get your clients to order their own copies!

  • The printers are good about replacing any misprints, but unfortunately printing errors do sometimes occur. If that happens, you’ll need to send me a photo so I can organise a replacement.

OTHER QUESTIONS

  • If your local Amazon has the book for sale but significantly over the RRP, it’s likely that they’re currently selling an imported version from the US or UK (and bumping up the price to compensate for their own shipping fees).

    If you’re keen to order the book immediately then I’d recommend going the bulk order route. If you’re happy to wait, then last year we found that the international Amazon prices settled closer to RRP after a week or so.

  • Sadly no - this is the final edition! It’s been an incredible journey and we have raised over $250,000 across the four books. Thanks to everyone for being involved!

  • Based on previous years, I’m assuming that Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and Angus & Robertson will stock the book again - but unfortunately there are no guarantees in this game!

    The way this self-publication works is: I list the book as available to distribute.

    Online retailers can choose whether or not they are going to stock it, how many they are going to stock and their price - I won’t have any control over any of those things.

  • I have listed the publication date as November 1st 2025 - this means that retailers who have decided to sell it will be able to do so from this date.

    Here’s the catch: we do not know ahead of time when a retailer has picked up a title. Last year we found that Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk stocked early, then other countries followed suit. Some countries took up to four weeks to start stocking.

  • That’s not going to happen. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?! Knock on wood now, please.

    But seriously, based on previous years I would be shocked if that happened. My back up plan is that I will process all the orders myself, but I don’t think that will be necessary.

  • Hopefully yes!

  • I have absolutely no idea - and I’m sorry that’s not a more helpful answer! The way this self-publication works is, I list the book as available to distribute.

    Online retailers can choose whether or not they are going to stock it, how many they are going to stock and their price - I won’t have any control over any of those things. If they choose to get multiple in stock, you’ll likely get a copy quite quickly. If they decide to just get a few, it could take longer.

  • I suggest letting your clients that misprints can sometimes happen with smaller runs like this - and if they happen to receive a dud, they just need to let the retailer know and it’ll be replaced.

  • No - individual orders will only be available to purchase through online retailers.

  • Get in touch - we’ll sort out a direct shipment to you and your clients!

    Shipping for direct orders of 1-4 books is $19/book. To keep the cost down, it’s non-trackable and slow.
