Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

Has anyone noticed an increase in the availability of of our books in England, particularly Borders?

Re: Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

I was in a Borders just yesterday, and the only 2+2 book I saw was TOP. Maybe this is unrepresentative, but it was a decent sized one. FWIW, I have seen copies of it there before, so I don't think it has improved particularly drastically yet. I have also never seen a 2+2 book in Waterstones (the other big book chain).

I'm a regular in all 3 bookshops in my town, Waterstones, WHsmiths and a small independent. I've yet to see a 2+2 book in any of them. I use amazon.co.uk when I need a fix of 2+2

Thanks, we're trying to remedy this.

Re: Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

The only place I've ever been able to get 2+2 books is in the highstakes bookshop. Don't even know where there is a borders near Manchester. I know of 3 local waterstones, and have never seen a 2+2 book. Would be great if waterstones started to carry them.

Whatever about England I can tell you they are far more readily available in Dublin, Ireland now as one of the main book shops here has started stocking 2+2 titles (as well as titles from other publishers, Cardoza etc.).

I'll go and count the 2+2 books in my local Borders on Monday if you can give me a creative title which I like. (EDIT: Instead of Carpal Tunnel I mean.)

Hi John
I've bought at least 3 or 4 2+2 titles in the Waterstones on Deansgate in Manchester. They usually have a pretty good selection of other titles as well.

Excellent. It must have changed since I last looked. Maybe it's been longer than I thought. Thanks for the info.

Isnt Borders more a southern bookstore, I thikn Waterstones is the one to try and get into for more national coverage, most of their stores have poker books but have never seen any 2+2 there.

The UK is overflowing with poker at the moment there are two poker channels which are selling books like supersystem etc that could be another way of getting into the market doing somthing with them.

Re: Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

There also no 2+2 books in ottakers either(another big british chain).

Re: Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

I also use Amazon or Con Jel if I get no joy with Amazon. As a rider I spent 4 years in Singapore and the Borders on Orchard Road stocked many 2 + 2 publications I purchased my first book HEFAP there, I now have over 2 dozen poker books.

Re: Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

I went to the Borders in Oxford St earlier this week. I did not see any 2+2 publications. In the end I had to use Amazon.

Re: Availability (or not) in England of Two plus Two titles
 

I'm looking for HEFAP - no 2+2 titles at all in Waterstones or Borders (Birmingham). Amazon.co.uk stock SSHE and TOP but not apparently HEFAP. Any suggestions?

As an aside, I am not sure I would want 2+2 titles too widely available if you know what I mean!

Re: Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

The last time I looked for 2+2 books in a bookshop (6 months ago) there was a rather random 2+2 book in borders (Poker Essays 2, perhaps), but nothing else. There was plenty of copies of SSII and PPLTP etc, so you need to sort this out really. I will have a quick look next time i'm in town.

Of course, Amazon does the job nicely.

...except that is not being sold by amazon, it is a link to third party sellers who are asking £66 for a second hand copy!!

Re: Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

Atleast it was there... You were wrong.

Re: Availability in England of Two plus Two titles
 

That's an improvement from last month or so, when I last checked in there. Not a single 2+2 book then...
