[Leica] 12 Leica Users book is now available

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Brian, thanks for looking and commenting. We have now had more than 1000
people preview the book. I wrote to Blurb on the Premium saga. They insist
that the order system does NOT take into account the country of order and
the Premium option is available everywhere. That was Blurb Europe that
responded. My first order has left from USA. Last Yearbook came from
Switzerland. I can only assume now that maybe the various web servers world
wide have yet to catch up on the ordering pages??
Its frustrating to deal with what seems to be clunkiness on Blurb's part
here. What should have been an extra opportunity for people has somehow
turned into a distraction. Sigh. I can only say that I edited the book
options today and what people SHOULD see is the softcover at USD 27.95 which
buys them the premium paper version and no plain paper option. That is
exactly what your screen shot displays. Thanks for posting that. If anyone
still sees USD 24.95, then you should also see an option for Premium with
it. That adds $3.00 


Cheers
Geoff

Whereas I DO get the premium paper option.

I think I know what's going on. Blurb.com does not actually own any printing
presses. They are a front-end broker to local printing companies around the
world. Probably what's happening here is that Blurb knows where you are, and
knows which printer is the one that's closest to you, and knows what that
printer's capabilities are. If you live someplace whose nearest
Blurb-contracted printer can do premium paper, then it will show up as an
option.

Here's a screen dump of what I see:
