Sandancer Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I found the book Affinity Photo workbook on Amazon UK, but it's not available. Amazon give a date of 2-10-2017. Will the book be available again and is it in English. All of the books I've seen on amzazon are in German kind regards Picketwire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted August 19, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 19, 2017 Sandancer, Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums The Affinity Photo Workbook has never been sold. We were proof reading it on Friday and manufacture takes up to 6 weeks. Launch will not be until the middle of October, so the listing on Amazon should say 24-10-2017 not 2-10-2017. Amazon.com do also sell the Affinity Designer Workbook, ordering from us. As I understand it Amazon.com delisted English Designer our book by accident, but getting it relisted is proving quite difficult, perhaps it is back now, like it is on Amazon.co.uk. The German one was not affected by this. I have heard that using the Amazon listing it is possible to send to some countries that our distributor (ironically a sub=company of Amazon) will not distribute to. The Amazon listing does not mirror the pricing on the Affinity Store. All the other books on Amazon that have Affinity Photo or Affinity Designer in their name are not official Serif manuals. manu schwendener and RowdyMonkey 2 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

amazme11 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Is anyone going to answer the correct question? Is the book Affinity Photo Workbook in English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandancer Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 The book will be in English. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Affinity-Photo-Workbook-Europe-Limited/dp/1909581054/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1508383411&sr=1-5&keywords=affinity+photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger C Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The man from Del Monte, he say yes! To the Serifs of Nottingham, we say Thanks. Indeed Christmas will come early this year. 500 pages of glorious Affinity fun on old-school paper and ink. Lovely stuff.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 19, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 19, 2017 The Amazon listing is not currently accurate (or in our control, they are a law unto themselves). The Affinity Photo Workbook launch has been delayed until after Affinity Photo 1.6 and Affinity Designer 1.6 (Desktop) is live and settled. So, as I have said in another thread, 1.6 will hopefully be in the next few weeks and the Photo Workbook will follow on shortly after that. The Affinity Photo Workbook will be in English or German, the same as Affinity Designer Workbook is, and we would like you to buy it directly from http://affinity.store. and not from Amazon anyway (they take a big cut) zaka and PeanutsA 2 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Nothing worse than telling your clients, that there has been a delay - with no projected likely date for resolving the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigger73 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Appreciate the response, thank you. I was asking about the book, but glad you have answered about 1.6 release too. As long as we are not looking at a release after Christmas. I've been keen to get my hands on a properly issued workbook for some time now.

Sandancer Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Yes I ordered it at around 16:00 (Denmark) today and got an e-mail saying it was dispatched at 21:15. I’m not sure, but I think they are dispatched from the UK. It takes about 5 working days delivery. I’ve been watching on Amazon, but the Affinity Store was much cheaper.

resinolo Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Why don't you deliver to Switzerland? I'm sure there are many Affinity Users too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toomas Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I'm pretty sure I've seen the topic mentioned here somewhere before, but still… I'd vote to have the workbooks available as e-books also. I don't mind paying the €32.99 for the book, but the €17.99 for shipping (to Estonia) is what makes me think twice right now. Would be greate to have the book open in iPad and follow along on the computer. LenC 1 Quote <>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
