Softback copies of the book will be available online through the Finnshop on the
IFA website. As soon as it is at the printers online ordering will open. The
cost will be GBP 25
per copy plus postage of between GBP 3 and GBP 6 depending on the destination.
Discounts are available for bulk orders to associations and retailers.
Copies will also be available through some National Associations and local
suppliers: NED, DEN, SWE, NZL, ESP, ITA, POL, RUS. Full details will appear on
the website later.
Please order through your local Finn Class organization
when it has informed you that the book is locally available.
If your National Association has not yet put in an advance order please persuade
them to do so. It makes our finances easier and can make some money for your
association.
In addition....
A limited numbers of hardback (probably boxed as well) special editions will be
printed on demand using higher quality paper.
If you want to reserve a copy of the hardback book
please register your interest
by sending an email to:
robertdeaves@yahoo.co.uk,
stating the number of hardback copies you would like to purchase. It's not a
commitment, but gives us an idea of how many to produce. Orders received after
printing cannot be guaranteed.

GBP 60.
