Amazon has radically changed its distribution method. A friend in Thailand messaged me that they could not get one of my books in printed format - only as an E Book. So we investigated and found that local print availability is global with PRINT ON DEMAND - a cheaper way of getting a print version to you. And Animal Farm The Next Chapter looks great as Print On Demand and is shifting dozens. It's larger than the actual print version but looks exactly the same. We've now done this with ALL my books - even the really old ones like BIBLE TWO (stolen to make the film Mannequin after I walked out of then coke snorting movie meetings) and The Booker Prize Winner.

Coming up - 80 That's All Folks! - the third volume of my autobiography, destined to cause much jaw dropping about major celebrities and stars as well as crooked liars, bent cops and corrupt lawyers.

I've ordered several books that have been "print on demand"

Could well be the way of the future in publishing with retailers not needing to carry large stocks.

However I just love browsing in bookshops and often buy on impulse.

Latest news in Florida with Trumpy's and the Republicans attack on libraries and schools over certain books...The Diary of Anne Frank is no longer available.

I'm with you Hedda - nothing nicer than bookshops - I always buy all six Booker finalists from a local small book store in order to support independent shops.
