UK sales of the Knight Rider Companion now available!

Post by focus709 » Tue Oct 19, 2010 3:28 pm

Hi guys!

Nick Nugent has asked me to sell some of his books in the UK, unfortunately, I'm limited to only 19 copies.

As you know, buying from here will save on postage and I reckoned on a £13 saving compared to buying from the States.

I'm selling via eBay, click on the link

Remember, these are limited!!

Thanks.

It's a heavy book! 1.7 kilogrammes in total. Also, I have had to get specially made boxes to protect the books in transit so the £8 is for post and packing.

I'm not making any profit from this, I'm doing it as a favour to Nick.

The books are not hardback so they need the extra protection.

I purchased mine in Vegas in person, at KRFII, as it was cheaper for me.

It was cheaper to fly to Vegas than get one shipped???

Only kidding!

LOL. :lol:

Speaking of TKC, mine dented today because I display it on a shelf and when doing the polishing, I didn't put it back properly and it fell a few feet.

There's some scuff marks on it....that's the drawback of a book not being hardback.

Just purchased my copy today. I have been waiting ever since the book was published to buy it, but because of living in the uk, the amount of money was too much for my budget.

i cant wait to read it. :D I remember how awesome knight rider leagacy was, and so this should be just as good :D

In my opinion The Knight Rider Companion is even better! Fantastic glossy pages with hi-res pictures, amazing quality!

Did you buy from me? If so, it was sent this morning!

Glad to see people enjoy the book. Skav, sorry about the damage but putting it in a hardcover would have caused a massive jump in production costs and I don't see many 6x9 hardback books around you know? The book is heavy but that's what it takes to deliver the best quality paper and imagery possible. Many fans refer to The Knight Rider Companion as "the brick" hehe.

Books are always cheaper when people buy them from me in person at events because I have no shipping costs to deal with - plus I can personalize them for fans who want it. Just a FYI, for Knight Rider Festival III I will be selling some copies at the VIP party and taking pre-orders ahead of time. I don't really know if I'm going to sell them at a table on Saturday or not this time around - it's a great deal of effort and chaos to set up all that just to only sell a few copies.

As far as I know, I am not handling the production of event t-shirts or posters. I am considering making a limited edition exclusive print of my "K.A.R.R. kit" availible (11x17) though and will bring my remaining stock (about 75) of KRF II LE posters as well. You saw the Knightcon version in England for the raffle, the KRF III version is slightly different.

More on this later...
