Martin Edge's The Underwater Photographer - new 4th edition

I received a copy early this week and have read through several chapters. I am just amazed at the wealth of information in this book and the way the information is presented. I haven't read the previous editions, but can see why everyone is so eager. Great job!

p.s. Spoke to Martin the other day and, Steve, he reckons that you were the first person to get a copy (after him)!

The magic of "next day air" You all have fun at the meeting tonight. Tell Martin thanks for all the hard work.

Cheers,

Steve

Oh to have options like "Next Day Air" - unfortunately out here Dreams are Free!

Fantastic edition. Thank you to everyone who is involved.

Got mine too, and it's looking good!

WooHooo! Just opened my box and settling in for a nice evening read!!!!!

The joys of living in the middle of... nowhere. It's interesting watching the tracking when you get something sent DHL from NYC - it goes to Kentucky, then Frankfurt, then Dubai, Bangkok, Singapore, Perth (all in about 3 days) and then it takes at least another week after clearing customs to reach me. We only get deliveries on Wednesdays which doesn't help. So 6 weeks for Amazon's regular international shipping sounds about right.

 

I did see something on Amazon last night about another book from Martin that is due out in May.

5th Edition?

Just received my addition today here in Kalifornia ... wow... Looks great and full of new information. Thanks for the great work!

I cancelled my Amazon order.

Only because I got a copy signed by the man himself at BSOUP last night:D

Sean

Just canceled my Amazon UK order-and have ordered it from the States

Amazon UK are still not actually giving a lead time-the last deadline of 15-17th Feb passed, and they haven't updated it yet!

Here are a couple of photos from last night's BSoUP meeting. Excellent turnout, I don't know the official number, but it must have been close to 100 underwater photographers.

Martin signed lots of books:

Here is my copy - I think the note says "F8 and a big bank account to get to all the hot places first" (not really).

Alex

p.s. I am also excited that the picture that is right at the start of this thread is actually in the book! Page 407.

According to the publishers at last nights meeting the copies they were selling are pre-release and there will be no copies available on Amazon for about a month.

It certainly is! I ordered the new paperback version from Amazon and thought they had sent the hardcover by mistake when I was handed the box. Heavy!

Not only did my copy arrive yesterday I got a $14 refund from Amazon for price protection...Maybe because it's not a hard cover?

Great read so far, but lots of typos. Martin, you need to hire me to proof your proofers! ;-)

Interesting. Did you order the hard cover and receive the paperback, or order just before the paperback was released?

I specifically ordered the paperback version which would have cost less than the hard cover on Amazon. The other interesting part is that I received it the day before Amazon's release date.

I paid $39.95. It seems the difference here is that you pre-ordered and I didn't. Regardless, I've spoken to Amazon and arranged a refund of the difference because the price dropped dramatically so soon after purchase. Thanks for the heads-up!

Here you go... received the same refund I guess because of pre-order. Would love a signed copy but am happy with crazy discount
