Southwest Tasmania - new book

Postby tastrax » Thu 06 Oct, 2016 8:28 am

Those of you with an interest in SW Tasmania may wish to support Tony Fenton in his Pozible campaign to publish a book about the area.

Looks like it will be a fascinating read.
Cheers - Phil

Looks interesting, and will complement the Deny King book.

As far as i can work out this is a bit like a pre-order. if the target is reached and book gets printed you would get a copy. If the target is not met then nothing is charged to your cred card. I guess the final retail price might be a bit more or less than the the pledge amount. Perhaps you could post a reply if I am way off the mark here, Phil.

Thats correct Peter - if the full amount is not contributed then nothing comes out of your account. Chances are the book will still be published but the author has to wear all the bills and use other means for the marketing etc.
