Patricia Sokol’s The Powysverse Compendium is now available. See the Powysverse Compendium page for the magic blue button.
Zack, it’s dance time…
I’m excited to think I may be the first to buy this… but when I click the Lulu button I get “this item not available for purchase.” When I search the title in Lulu I get no result. :S
I’m going to order my copy now! Thanks Bill & can I just say, I am SO happy for Pat! I’ve not read much beyond where I finished proof reading (yes, that’s right folks. I was asked to proof read Pat’s book but alas, due to ill health, I was unable to finish the job) but I can tell you in all sincerety that she has written, imho, one of the absolutely seminal works on the series. Her insight into the characters themselves is, for me, the absolute highlight of this project. It really answers the critics and shows them that the characters are just as complicated & fascinating as any of those presented in TV series such as “Star Trek” & “Blake’s 7″. I have enormous respect for Pat’s opinions on the series. She is becoming one of the foremost voices in fandom (in my mind anyway) on the deeper wonderfulness of both the characters and the meaning behind the stories themselves. In all seriousness, I think Johnny Byrne (may he rest in peace on Terra Alpha) would have had an enormous amount of praise for the insight into the series that this book presents.
Believe me: You don’t *know” John Koenig & Helena Russell. Once you’ve read this book, you will! 😉
Must admit, I’m looking forward to reading the finished book at long last. A new [b]SPACE: 1999[/b] book from Powys Media! Hoorah on 10 levels! :cheer:
I’m delighted! (Obviously! LOL!) Roll on “Phoenix of Megaron” & “The Whispering Sea” (My God! I can’t tell you how utterly DESPERATE I am to read that particular book!) :laugh:[b][/b]
Hmmm, try paying by PayPal. That doesn’t work. I have sent an e-mail to Lulu that will take up to 4 days to get an answer.
Why do I always have trouble ordering through Lulu? 🙁
Like I said, no dance until the book is on my shelf.

I tried paying by my VISA. It was declined. Went back to start again… checked all the details… everything was right… tried to buy it again… declined again! Bugger! I’ll ring my bank tomorow. I’ve definately got lots of credit on my VISA so I’m not sure why this has happened :angry: I promise to buy your book as soon as I can get this sorted out Pat :blush:
Try coupon code “RETAILMENOT25” to save 25% off. It saved me $7.50. I think it’s good until the end of February.

As soon as I get my card problem sorted out, I’ll definitely use one of these when ordering Pat’s book B)
The declined card sounds more like a browser issue. I’ve seen it before. Try a different browser or use Paypal.
I’m on Chrome, and had no trouble getting my order in. I also have a permanent Lulu account, so there was no trouble with my card.
Oh, and discount code RETAILMENOT25 works.

See the Powysverse Compendium page for the magic blue button.Zack, it’s dance time…[/quote] I would love to order this book as soon as possible, but I found in the past that due to being far away in Africa, normal mail is not very reliable and I should only use the trackable “Express” shipping method. This option is very expensive if you order one book at a time, but becomes affordable when ordering a number of books simultaneuously. I would therefore appreciate an indication of when the next two books Phoenix of Megaron and Whispering Sea will be available? Or would I risk seeing the dreaded “Sold out!” message against the Compendium if I wait too long?
