Andrew Soh's "The Naked Truth"

$80 per copy

If we can get enough numbers the price will be reduced by a further 5-10%

now you tell me... for anyone interested it's a very good book, well worth the money,excellent quality binding and print, unconventional but a great read. It will fill in a lot of gaps in one's knowledge of discus and includes quite a bit of information that many are reluctant to share. It was more helpful to me than Malaysia Discus, Penang Discus and Discus Catalogue put together. The biggest plus is that Andrew is always very keen to help with any advice that anyone would need.

It is a very good book, and should be in the hands of any serious Discus keeper.

Up till now, the price, whilst reflective of the quality, has been a little out of the realms of some due to affortability, and hopefully the greedy profitering will end.

And yes, Andrew is a great help, both here and on other aquatic forums, something very few other specialists in this hobby afford to others.

any update? I'd like a copy too ^^

This should be finalised within the next few days, hopefully with the books arriving before Christmas.

Before the order is placed anybody that wants to take advantage of this price must pre-order and pay $80 otherwise the price will revert to $110 once the order is placed.

All the copies will be personally signed by Andrew himself.

Pre-Orders can be made here - The Naked Truth (by Andrew Soh) (http://www.aquariumsuppliesaustralia.com.au/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=2674)

The sooner orders are placed, the sooner the books arrive here.

Thank you

As per previous, the $80 price will not be the regular price.

Delivery of these books should be soon (sadly there have been some unforseen delays).

Less than half the people who said they wanted one have ordered one which will make it hard for us to do the same thing in the future.

The price will stay as is till the weekend, then that is it.

For an autographed book, we feel this is a great deal.

I didnt state on this thread I wanted one, but ordered one today. Hopefully that lessened the blow of people saying they want one, yet not ordering one a bit.

Kingkat
Tue Jan 30, 2007, 09:54 PM
I did the same Fiftycal, I think it's rude when people put time and effort into organising something like this than people who say thay wanted one don't cough up the cash.

Just an FYI for those who have ordered a copy or are thinking of doing so.

Nothing will be charged until the books are on their way, this exercise was in place to determine whether we needed to get 25, 50, 100 copies etc. Obviously the more interest in this means the pruce stays down, or even goes lower (including for those that have already ordered)

Consider mine ordered, I thought the "count me in" statement would suffice. Perhaps it didn't.

Need to place in your individual order on the site.

Heya - did you have an idea of when it does come in? I know you said soon - just curious as i placed 2 seperate orders on ASA. one is ready for pick up now but i didn't really want to make 2 trips south. However, if it is going to take another 2+ weeks for the book to arrive then i'll just come by on Saturday and pick up the first order.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Kev

There were some unforseen delays over the Christmas/New Year period which slowed things right down in regards to getting this book here. They should be arriving in the next 2 weeks. We are more than happy to send the book to you via courier at no extra cost once it comes in.

SandyLynne, an order does need to be made as per a post we made some weeks ago. Whilst the reply here was an indication of interest, until an order is made we could not be sure of exact numbers, which we needed so we could liase with Andrew Soh and have all pre-ordered books signed by him.

Lets just say international money transfers are proving to be a headache with 2 attempts so far failing.

Sorry about the delay, we are doing everything we can to get things sorted as the books wont be sent until the money has cleared over there.

Personally I am embarrassed but I am trying my best to get things through.

Don't be embarrassed mate, they will be worth the wait and we know you are doing your best.

Please, no embarrassment! This is a great deal you've engineered, and much appreciated. For a signed copy, let alone at this price, and the content of the book - it's well worth any wait, and it's not like you gave a firm delivery date. You're doing a great job for us - feel pride!

Don't take my last post the wrong way i was simply just trying to find out what was going on because i had not heard anything and i don't have the chance to spend as much time on this site as i would like so i did not know whether there had been a post to say what the delays have been.

Finally all the nitty gritty has been completed.

It is now in the hands of the freight gods.

Once the books have arrived they will be send straight away.

Sorry for the extended delay, next time if we do something like this we will get the books or products into the country first.

Thank you.

The Books have arrived!!!

They just missed the cutoff time to be sent today but everyone who ordered one will have theirs sent first thing tomorrow (in most cases confirmation emails and tracking numbers have already been sent out).

Every book has been personally autographed by Andrew Soh himself, for that we are very appreciative, and hope you all enjoy.

Most of the books that arrived had been pre-sold. There are still some left so if you have been thinking about getting this book now is the time to do so.

Thanks Proteus,
I am glad he is a member cause I have a question for him, My pair of cobalts have been pretty successful at breeding so far, up until now that is, every time the female lays eggs now they go white and then she eats them.I have been breeding parrots for quite a number of years and when we have this happen in birds if we seperate the pair for a while it sometimes brings them good.Do you think this will work for this pair of fish?

$80 was for pre-order only. (i.e. orders made before the stock arrived in Australia)

$110 is the normal price however they have been listed at $95 as it is between the promotional pre-order price and the regular price.

Bear in mind every book has been autographed by Andrew himself this is great value for an excellent book
