Kingfisher Saga Continues…
I finally received an email back from someone at Kingfisher. It’s from an editorial assistant. I don’t beleive she is a decision-maker, but it was great to hear from someone. And she does seem to actually care:
Dear Kathleen,
Thank you very much for your email regarding the status of Kingfisher History Encyclopedia. Unfortunately, I am unable to give you a definite answer regarding whether the book is going out of print of not. This is because the matter has not been decided, but will be by the end of February.
I’m sorry to keep you waiting for an answer, but please be assured that as soon as a decision is made, then I shall email you to let you know. The book is currently available on Amazon if you did want to purchase some more.
Many thanks, and apologies once more the delay.

She is correct about Amazon having Kingfisher. Last week Amazon reported they only had 2 Kingfishers left in stock (which I purchased) and then the very next day they were fully stocked again–hmmmmm. And this is a book that even the publisher doesn’t have in stock (naughty, naughty Amazon).
So I guess we will have to wait until maybe March to hear the news. Meanwhile, on I write….

I really want to quickly get this book, but I think I can wait until the end of February, please let us know when something is known.
