I want to thank everyone who has ordered my book ANYONE CAN RIDE A
UNICYCLE or who has shown an interest in it, and Birne for recommending
it, which triggered this whole thing off. Unfortunately, Miyata
is completely out of stock and I only have a few copies left. Since
Miyata does not have plans to market unicycles in the US in the
immediate future, they cannot reprint at this time. They say that
they will reprint only if there is a demand for at least 2000 or
3000 copies.
Any millionaires out there who lots of unicycle books, just shout.
In the meantime, I will be glad to make photocopies and send it to you
for $15, which includes photocopying. It is still quite legible, but the
photographs are of course not as nice.
I am sorry about the change in price. The $10 price did not take the
price of photocopying into account. BTW, the amount you send need not be
$15 exactly if you send it in, say, Canadian dollars.
I am sorry to have raised false hopes. I should have checked with Miyata
before making the announcement. For those of you who have already sent
me $10, I will stand by my previous announcement, so you need not send
the difference.
BTW, there are plenty of copies of the Japanese version available (hundreds
of thousands have been distributed in Japan) if you can read it. If not,
buy my dictionary :-)...
Oh, Alberto, what ever happened to the plan of translating it to Spanish?
Actually, I am open to offers to translations to any language. The problem
is the need for a means to sell and distribute.
