Buy our own Ruth G's book of poetry, and encourage others to do the same. (read all 4 entries…)
I thought I'd done this... 2 years ago

when I got an e-mail from Amazon:

English: When we contacted our supplier we learned that the above item is
no longer available. This unavailable item has been cancelled from your
order and you have not been charged for it. We apologize for this
inconvenience.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I was really looking forward to getting my copy :(

It’s definitely still available & can be bought through Amazon here in the U.S. I will ask the publisher to look into why it wouldn’t be available in Japan!

ume

thanks

for the information Ruth! It looks like I’ll have to go through Amazon in the U.S. I wonder why I’ve had so much trouble getting it through Amazon jp?

When the publisher

responds (& I’m sure they will soon), I’ll let you know what they say.

Thanks Ruth :)

OK, here's the response

Hello Ruth!

I don’t know who supplies Amazon Japan with their titles. I assume there is a Japanese equivalent to Ingram [U.S. book distributor]. In the US, we (WordFarm) supply Amazon directly.

The book is available and active, so I can’t think of why it would not be available (everywhere).

We can get a book to her directly if she can’t order it in Japan.

It would be interesting to know if a Japanese bookstore is able to special order it. If they can’t order it either, then the problem would be at the distributor level.

Let me know if you want me to sell her a copy directly.


Ume, would you like to e-mail Andrew to see about ordering it directly? His address is acraft [at] wordfarm.net .

Be sure & see the edited version of that comment—the first time round I absent-mindedly wrote down the wrong address.
