Order FAQ's

In which formats is the book available?

It's currently available in Adobe PDF format and Paperback. If you don't have a PDF viewer (you probably do!), you can download Adobe Reader free.

 

Why is the paperback in B&W instead of colour?

The book was originally intended to be published only as an eBook, however once it was made available to the public, there was a high demand for a paperback version as well.

Whilst some books have a PDF supplement, this book is the other way round - the colour PDF eBook is designed to be the primary book, and the black & white paperback is the supplement.

Printing costs for full colour are approx. 7-8 times more than B&W for small publishers, which would have made the retail price of the book extortionate. The alternative is to go to a huge publishing company, however their lead time is many months - Lightroom 3 would be available by the time they had it ready!

Almost all of the screenshots work just as well in B&W, with the exception of page 303, where colour is really needed to get the best understanding. That particular page is available as one of the free excerpts here.

Anyone purchasing the paperback is invited to contact the author to download the full PDF version worth £14.95 (approx. $26.95 US*) absolutely FREE. Click here for the details

 

Why an eBook?

An electronic format such as PDF can be delivered instantly, and can easily be searched. The eBook can be updated for each new release, so the copy available for sale will always be current, whereas updating the paperback is a little more complicated.

 

I bought the eBook - can I have a discount on the Paperback?

Sure! There's an Upgrade from eBook to Paperback available on the complete shopping cart page.

 

How do I pay for it?

Payment options available are either credit/debit card via Google Checkout or PayPal (PayPal account not required). Payment by NoChex (credit/debit card) and BACS (UK only) are also available - email for details on those options.

 

How is the eBook delivered?

Delivery is digital - a download link will be displayed as soon as your payment is authorised, and also sent to your email address. It is a time-limited download link.

 

Why hasn't my download link arrived yet?

Delivery is automated. There can be a short delay between the payment processor and the download provider, although this is rare. The payment processor may also decide to hold payment until the card details are verified. If you're concerned, don't hesitate to email at victoria@victoriabampton.com

 

How much is shipping/delivery?

The PDF format is delivered by digital download, so there is no delivery charge. The Paperback/PDF bundle is free for delivery within the UK, and £3.50 (approx. $6.25) shipping worldwide. Amazon offer free shipping on the Paperback only, from each of its local websites.
