    £10 a week?

    That'll be GaaS!

    Just a warning, there's VAT to be added to the £2.99 so £3.59 total for UKians...

      VAT

      Indeed - thanks for flagging that up.

    Sorry about that, folks. I forgot about it. Bloody VAT law that thinks it's the medium that matters and not the content, and then manages to charge for a medium that barely exists.

    Unfortunately it's out of my control, but thanks for flagging it up.

    ... reading for teenagers being left or sent off to fend for themselves. Excellent advice in this epub. Maybe a second edition with a few pictures would be good.

    I can't imagine using an ebook in the kitchen, given what a sloppy cook I am. Please ship a crate of these to Amazon in the American colonies (maybe the Canadian and Australian ones as well).

      You should be able to get them from Lulu in the States - it's a US company and I'm sure they print over there.

      The way the finances work is that if I allow Amazon and the other bookstores to sell it, they will take half the cover price, then Lulu will get their bit, and then Malaria No More will get what's left - which will be negative, at this price.

      There are no photos largely because they'd double the size, and therefore the cost, of the book.

      Given the sad, sad pics that accompanied the coverage of last years' challenges here, I can't fathom *why* would anyone want images included in the book!

        Sad pics? How dare you sir? "Striking images of inventive budget cuisine" is how we'd describe them.

      I am getting the cheapest e-book reader I can find that has buttons rather than a touch screen and a mount to hold it to a counter. One bit of plastic wrap for protection and I'm done. I started buying most of my cookbooks as e-books a while back and printing what I needed to, but I think this will work better in the long run.
