[iceman]

From the IceInSpace Homepage (http://www.iceinspace.com.au)

Hi all

The fabulous Astronomy 2008 Yearbook by Quasar Publishing (http://www.quasarastronomy.com.au/) is now available*.

Order your Astronomy 2008 Yearbook through IceInSpace (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/?id=73,332,0,0,1,0) for only $23 delivered to your door.

It's a must-have yearly almanac with tonnes of info about observing the night sky during 2008. It contains star charts and other ephemeris, dates and details of important astro events during the year and much more.

As well as the usual features, this year's book includes updated coverage of the December 2007 opposition of Mars (including observing its moons), Antartic astronomy and astronomical imaging with a webcam.

The yearbook has been designed for anyone who looks at the night sky whether they are using just their eyes, a pair of binoculars or a telescope. The book has something for everyone from the basic novice up to the advanced amateur astronomer. This includes those with a casual interest who might just want to know, "what is that bright star next to the Moon?"


Go to the Astronomy 2008 Yearbook Order Form (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/?id=73,332,0,0,1,0) to order your copy now.

* Books will be available to ship in early November.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

You seem to have forgotten to mention who wrote the astronomical imaging article ;)- it looks great btw.

Regards

Glenn

[iceman]

hah thanks Glenn, I can't wait to see how it turned out.

[jjjnettie]

A great book, always an informative read.
I look forward to receiving my copy.
Cheers

[Marko of Oz]

Sounds handy, ordered, paid,

Can you match Oz S&T's $10 discount card that came with the last edition? :D

No problem, I'll save it for something else from their store.

My order for one, maybe two will be in shortly, thanks Mike.

[iceman]

But the stickers are priceless, Eric! ;)

[[1ponders]]

Can I get mine signed by the major contributors? ;)

[jjjnettie]

I was thinking that, but didn't feel cheeky enough to ask.;)
More stickers to hand out at astro events would be nice too. Pretty please.:sadeyes: Only if you have any to spare.

[Tamtarn]

A must have. - Ordered ours today.

[iceman]

Thanks to those that have been placing orders. Just a couple of points:

1) Remember to press Submit to submit your order. The Preview Order button shows you a summary of what you're about to order, but then you need to press SUBMIT after that. A few people have stopped at "Preview Order" and not actually pressed Submit.

2) The books will be available early November. I'll let you know when I get them - they'll be sent out after that.

[erick]

I got an email response - I guess that's proof I pressed the submit button. No email response - you didn't press the submit button (or are in the black book!)

[iceman]

You're right Eric - if you get an email confirmation, you did good :)

[iceman]

Hi all

I'm expecting to receive the books tomorrow, so with any luck, I'll be sending them out by the end of the week.

Get your orders in quickly as there's limited stock!

I received an advance copy late last week, and as expected, it's a fantatic read with loads of info.

Aloha from Hawai`i,

The Astronomy 2008 Yearbook has an order from me but I have a feeling there might need to be a surcharge for shipping to Hawai`i. Also, not sure how to do the Direct Deposit method of payment from here.

No hurry, of course, but I do have a handy VISA Debit card -- my company way of paying for items -- if that were usable for you in some way not revealed. You get your money immediately that way.

Please let me know if there is an additional amount due for shipping to the Big Island of Hawaii ZIP 96749 and any advice on the steps necessary to get my money to you. Looking forward to seeing the book and glad to have some way to participate in your wonderful web site.

Ordered mine yesterday, sent a transfer to you this morning Mike so it
should hit your account in the next day or so.

Looking forward to another 12 month bible, there ya go I am religous.
Except my bible get updated yearly lol, oh well that evolution for ya

regards,CS

[HawaiiBill]

Iceman,

I did receive a confirmation this morning but no response to my request for advice on paying from Hawai`i to Australia. Never did that and don't fully comprehend the "direct deposit" mechanism.

Also wondered if you need an additional amount for sending it to Hawai`i which will be happily paid if so.

Mahalo,
Bill

[iceman]

Hi Bill

Thanks for your order. It was received ok.

For overseas postage (for you, and anyone else from overseas), please add an additional AU$5 to the total cost. The best way for international orders to make payment, is via paypal.

If you don't have a paypal account, you can easily sign up for one at www.paypal.com. You can then make payments to international addresses using credit card, bank account, etc. The payment can be made to the address mike@iceinspace.com.au.

If you want to avoid paypal, the only other option is to send an international money order to the IceInSpace postal address. They'll probably charge you extra for an international money order - you can get them at post offices I believe.

Please contact me via PM or email if you're still stuck.

Thanks

[CoombellKid]

You could also try Western Union, you can pick up the money at any
foriegn exchange dotted around the city. It the best way to transfer
money internationaly in my book, and saves you the hassle of setting
up a pay-pal account.

regards,CS

[RB]

Just ordered and payed for copy too.

Can't wait to have a flick through.

:thumbsup:

[night-vision]

iceman,

Just a heads up, on this page http://www.iceinspace.com.au/?id=73,332,0,0,1,0 (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/../?id=73,332,0,0,1,0)
it mentions a 2.5% surcharge for paypal although on the order form it says 3% surcharge.


night-vision

[iceman]

Thanks Mick - it's actually 3% now (paypal put their fees up some time ago). I forgot to update one of the pages.

Thanks for the heads-up.

[iceman]

Another couple of payments have been received that I don't have orders for - please make sure you press SUBMIT, which is on the 2nd page. The button on the first page is to PREVIEW your order, and then you SUBMIT once you've confirmed the details.

It's easier to chase up people who haven't paid, but finding someone who paid money but you don't have their details, is tricky - especially given nicknames on forums :)

[iceman]

Oh and the books were received yesterday - i'll be sending some out today and tomorrow for those whose payments have been received. But I mightn't get to all of them until the weekend.

[CoombellKid]

Mike,

Any chance you can confirm my order and has my payment come through
I placed my name and IIS user name in the description.

regards,CS

[iceman]

Yours is received a-ok, Rob.

As a general rule, I don't give any confirmation that i've received payment. More likely, you would hear from me if I haven't received payment within a week or two.

When I get a proper shopping cart system up and running that will most likely change and there'll be more/better communication.

[citivolus]

Ordered and paid :)

Eric

[CoombellKid]

Thanks Mike,

Just checking as your banking details seem to have changed since I last
sent money to you.

Looking forward to recieving it

regards,CS

[andrew]

Ordered and paid, can't wait to receive it. Undoubtedly a must have for all interested :)

[kljucd1]

Hi,

Thanks

[iceman]

[GTB_an_Owl]

geoff

[andrew]

Just received my copy in the mail, awesome :) Thanks for the great service Mike :)

[jjjnettie]

Mine was delivered today.
Thanks Mike.

[iceman]

Thanks guys, glad to know they arrived. I'm going to send you some stickers/flyers separately, jjj.

[jjjnettie]

Good-O, thanks Mike.

[Marko of Oz]

Woohoo, Australia Post is on the ball in Rocky to.

cheers icedude.:thumbsup:

[Tamtarn]

Wow talk about super service.!!

Received ours today thanks Mike. :thumbsup:

[danielsun]

Hope you still have a few books left, I just ordered and paid by direct debit.
Thanks Mike.:thumbsup:

[iceman]

My wife and daughter helped me get everything together over the weekend.. my wife wrote on the back of the envelopes, I wrote on the front, and Eliza helped me put the books and stickers in the envelopes.

It was a team effort and really cut down the time it would've taken me on my own :)

I'm waiting for the next lot of books to come in to send out to those that haven't received them yet. I sold out my first order.

[jjjnettie]

Mike, have you thought of getting a rubber stamp made with your address on it? You can order them at most newsagents.
It should only cost $20 or so and you do enough mail outs to need it.
One less thing to have to write then.

[iceman]

Yes Jeanette, specifically after having to write my address so many times! :)

I'll definitely look at getting one - I didn't know you could get them from newsagents - i'll take a look today. Thanks!

[CoombellKid]

Picked up my copy today.

Thanks Mike

regards,CS

[WadeH]

Got mine today. Looks like another great edition!!

Of course I only order all this stuff for the stickers. Apprectiate all the hard work Mike and family.

Thanks.

[iceman]

I've only got a handful of books left in the current batch, and incoming orders are slowing right down. So when this current batch are sold i'll remove the order form link, as I don't want to order a new batch and then be left with them, unsold.

So if you still want to order one through IceInSpace, get your order in quick!

Thanks so far to everyone who has ordered!

[taminga16]

Mike, my copy arrived yesterday, thank's for your efforts.

Regards,

Greg.

[Dooghan]
