You’re all actually READING it? Freaks. (Except Lee, who can also do whatever the f**k he wants by me. )

Bit weird but I still haven't received my copy. I've actually seen my name printed on the supporters page online, but not in reality.

when i asked in fb sisters group, mark andrews replied:

The wait for Unbound to join this EU scheme doesn't have a clear end point. It's "some time" away ... I don't know when they will be despatching those books to EU people who said they didn't want to pay customs and VAT charges.


So we can either reply to that email and pay the customs charges or wait

Yes, that's s**t in miniature for you: no good for the UK business; no good for the EU consumer. If you are in the EU and haven't confirmed to Unbound that you are OK to pay customs and VAT (should they be imposed by the postal service), then email support@unbound.com and request that they dispatch the book and that you'll take your chances.

Zero rates for VAT on books and printed matter are used in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Finland, Sweden. Just fyi.

Loved the book Mark, couldn't put it down, enjoyed every page.

I said Brex- s**t!

Right ... I get hit for two charges on packages coming into Belgium by BPost from outside EU. One is customs; I assumed the other was VAT/TVA. If not, I don't know what the hell it is. Usually adds up to €20+ Euros. Even got hit for that for an old Vive Le Rock that a UK mate sent me. I refused to pay it ... and they delivered it anyway.

That's frustrating. Just to let you know there were no charges on my copy here in Ireland.

Some friends received their book weeks ago without extra charges.
I'm done waiting, so asked Unbound to send my copy anyway. We'll see how it goes...
The other week I needed to pay 22€ tax for a record I ordered back in May.
Yeah, Brex-s**t is the right word

I have now received my copy, had to pay 7€ Brex-tax, and spend several kilometers en route from one post office to another to finally get it.

Mark Andrews: Thank you so much for this book. I have enjoyed every single page. Very informative and well researched. Gives me back that "born too late" feeling as I was too young to see them live back then (my first Sisters gig was Heidelberg 1990).

By the way: Has anybody ever heard this "Ritual" demo that is mentioned?

According to Trevor Ristow's book, Ritual evolved (virtually unchanged) into Come Together, so I guess we've all heard it.

Ah, maybe I should get "Waiting For Another War" then, too.

Thanks a lot!

Definitely, and Wayne's book too. There's relatively little overlap between the three, so you can safely do so and get so much more of the story.

Still waiting for my book to arrive.

Humph.

agreed. in the abscence of Eldritch's version of events the trilogy is essential. certainly removes the need to ever read that bloody awful "life in the reptile house" bollocks again.

FedEx delivery sucks from the top to bottom...
Just received a letter from them asking for 11.85 euros for an invoice never delivered to me
They are telling a s**t about dates and payment without previously inform about that
Not even write down a phone number or email in it to contact them...
S**theads! Do they do the same to other countries too?

in my experience all couriers apart from The Royal Mail are utter vermin.

I expected something will happen with the book, due to the stories told here about delivering to other countries. What i didn't expect was that kind of unproffesionalism and stuff. This is def not the way to do things.

I think that most problems are caused by Brexit and not so much by the publishers. Everything I've ordered from Britain takes longer, I pay custom taxes and need to self collect by pick up points. (as I previously said -check your spam box for emails from couriers)

I mean the FedEx not the publishers
They delivered the book at door and 3 weeks after they send me a letter that i owe them 11.85 euros without notice me either at the delivery or otherwise that this charge exists

Refuse to pay. They can hardly take the book back off you.

Oh happy day: my copy finally arrived!
With no extra taxes

Rise and Hibernate!

Nice to hear that good news, Koen !
Still waiting btw...
