Lately I have been noticing that a lot of newer paperbacks and especially fairly recent (new to 1 year) paperback Graphic novels - trade collections of single issues - are only available via Amazon and seem to be out of stock everywhere else?

I'm in the UK - wondering am I just having a string of bad luck or is there still a book distribution issue for anyone not Amazon ?

Packing up the stunning hardcover copies of That Distant Fire by JR Hughto and Curt Merlo for our Crowdfundr backers.

So proud of how these turned out, and so grateful to everyone who supported the project and helped to make it a reality!
