    How do I order the book “Bequia , A Feast of Colour”?

    • I think it is best to contact author in Bequia, as almost all shipment of books went to her, to be distributed in the Caribbean. she will also have someone distributing books in USA. May be quicker than to wait until it will be added to amazon site.

    • The best way would be directly from author – Julie Lea from Bequia. She has almost all copies there – for Caribbean distribution. She also has an agent in USA who will be distributing there, sending to Amazon, etc.
      Hope it helps, cheers!
