I remember reading that several of you were looking for this Linda Silverman book. Look what I found: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Up...-Kreger-Silverman/e/9781932186000/?itm=1

This should readjust the market for this book. Too bad for all those people selling used copies for more than $75 each. smile

I wonder if they really have copies. And if so, where did they come from?

Well, we'll see. Now I see it says out of stock, but I bought one last night for $18 after the member discount and 15% off coupon. It says expected ship date is 2/11. I'll let you know.

I go to sleep earlier one day and miss all the good things frown

IF I actually get it, you get it next. smile

Thank you, thank you. I would love to borrow it.

What is the exchange rate? A few pounds of chocolate? Couple of Singapore books? All my unused hs material? wink

As if you haven't done enough already...

As with all my books, read it and pass it on (unless it's something I want to refer to again some day in which case it's read it, let your friends read it, and then return it).

Posted By: Kriston Re: Upside-Down Brilliance - 02/10/09 09:14 PM
I suspect you'll want it back...

(If for no other reason than so you can sell it for a gazillion dollars when it goes out of stock again! wink )

The funny thing is that I just checked BN.com, and while it still says the new one is out of stock, the used ones for sale dropped in price from $79 to about $50. Maybe there's a new printing and I just happened to get the last of the first batch. I still have the confirmation for my $18 purchase, which is supposed to ship tomorrow.

Stay tuned. It's fun watching the market.

And the used price on Amazon dropped to $24.95, which is the full BN price.

I think some of you are reading this board... smile

Can i borrow it after LMom? I'm too skeptical to order my own copy.

Unless you want to spend $85, your best bet will be the library:

omg, I can't believe I'm not the only one who watches the price for Upside Down Brilliance, lol....... and I have a copy. I would really like more - I can think of a dozen gifts off the top of my head, starting with ds5's teacher, who is a godsend to VSLs.

Lucky you, to have a good teacher for your DS. Wish we had been as fortunate.

Well, just got an email from BN, my order is packed and ready to leave the warehouse.

Wonderful!

Hope to see your book you soon wink Take your time, no rush. Nice excuse to see each other again.

It's out for delivery, whatever it is...

Grinity-

You can borrow my copy. It wouldn't take long to get from here to there! PM me with your mailing address!
Posted By: questions Re: Upside-Down Brilliance - 02/11/09 07:09 PM
Well, I got my brand new book. It's longer than I thought and I'm busier than expected, so it will be a while until it begins making the rounds, but it is here.
Posted By: snowgirl Re: Upside-Down Brilliance - 02/11/09 08:19 PM
Try to take your time reading it. I was so interested and eager to get through it that I found I got even more out of it the second (or third or fourth) time I read it (i.e. I missed stuff the first time), which of course occurred months later. Enjoy smile
