A nice surprise for us!

Thank you to all Canadian readers who ordered recently Tropical Homes of the Eastern Caribbean from Amazon.
I just stumbled on Amazon’s page showing current bestsellers, and saw our book as #1 today in category of Architecture books! And – that is despite the fact the the book is at the moment out of stock, and will be back in stock in just a few days.
Really nice to see our “baby” doing so well!
Cheers!
Derek

PS.
The story from Canada’s capital paper, Ottawa Citizen, was just reprinted in several other Canadian papers, including Calgary Herald. Thank you, Calgary, Edmonton and Kelowna!

…and it landed in another blog…

and here comes another review…

As said yesterday, we expected another review of Tropical Homes of the Eastern Caribbean soon.
and, here it is. This one is interesting, because it is in EGO – a bilingual magazine in Montreal. So, the story is written in English
as well as in French.
Well, it only makes sense, as our book is Bilingual too, having English and French texts – with the Caribbean , as well as Canadian and European readers in mind.
And, the Ottawa Citizen feature had been reprinted in the Windsor Star

A pleasant surprise – I just saw on Google that on amazon.co.uk this book was in top 3 ” hot  architectural releases” category! Thanks, UK!

Until next post, cheers!

New review…

Hi everybody,
just a quick note to say our book Tropical Homes of the Eastern Caribbean is doing fine. First Amazon’s stock order from our US distributor sold so quickly that Amazon was left without, and had to put “temporarily out of stock” note!
Don’t worry, more stock will reach them very soon.
And first reviews start to show in various media.
Here is one from Ottawa Citizen:

There will be more very soon, and i will try to post links to them here for you.

Well, it was re-published in Kelowna
