John Farley's new book
I'm glad John has succumbed at last and written the book we asked for. I have pre-ordered mine for delivery mid-December.
FLYER Shop - A View from the Hover (paperback)
Sales pitch from Flyer web site:
Pre-order John Farley's fantastic new book A View from the Hover: My Life in Aviation which will be published shortly by FLYER Books.
Packed full of lively accounts of John's days as a test pilot (for the Harrier and many other types) and rounded off with some great insights into how to improve your flying, this is a book which nobody who has any interest in flying or the history of aviation can afford to miss.
Get your copy ordered now (my sales pitch).

Paid for it today - worth every penny.......
Sat in the 2 seater at Brooklands the other day........ remembering JF at Farnborough many years before ...... as they say these days - Respect!

That said, I suspect strongly you might be better off ordering from the Flyer site linked from Yakker's post. I gather from conversations with another UIK based aviation publisher recently that RiverSite will list books from publishers who don't wish to do business with them direct (i.e. cut the wholesale prices), then source them via standard catalogues - slowing the whole process up considerably.

thanks: tried to add the book to my cart at the Flyer site but when selecting "rest of the world" it wouldn't let me. perhaps I'll phone them. all else failing I'll find another UK source that will ship across the pond. Thanks for the help.

If you PM me with your email address I'll pass it on to the office (I'm away for a couple of days). I'll make sure they email you with any postage costs etc.

Amazon.co.uk: low prices in Electronics, Books, Music, DVDs & more works really well for any books you want to order / preorder from the UK SkiingMan, quick service and reasonable shipping costs for books you would never find stateside.
I use them all the time and have been very happy with their service.
John Farley's book is preordered from them as we speak.

Moderators please?
Might it be possible to arrange signed copies of the new book to be made available here (similarly to the TSR2 print) priced to include a donation to an appropriate charity?

I don't know how Amazon sources their copy's.
Living in the States I find them to be invaluable for books unavailable or unheard of here.

Amazon use an independant resource, Neilsen Book Data, for any book not in their 'best seller' stock list, so it appears they have everything. They then, because of their buying power, beat the supplier down to low margins. If they can't, the book is effectively blacklisted on the site (the Amazon search engine 'cannot find it').
Amazon is convenient, but please support proper publishers where possible (especially in aviation where sales are relatively low), so we get more books like JFs.
I have e-mailed my son with the Flyer web page, e-mail headed 'Christmas is coming'.
