My new book, "Into the Nightmare"

Will this book be available in the UK?

PS. Hi forum

Al,

The book is available only through Amazon.com, but the
fulfillment house will ship copies to the UK.

It took me a while to figure out who Vervante are. I take it this was self published. Nothing wrong with that, of course. From the hype I expect it's a bit too hot to handle even for Skyhorse. Just don't ride in any cars with fly-by-wire.

I should point out that your book does not show up with a search of the Vervante website. Was this intentional or have they just fallen down on the job? By the way, just ordered a copy, which I rarely do any more, through Amazon.

There's probably 50 or 60 new JFK assassination books coming out on Amazon over the next few months, not counting the handful of electronic-only volumes (i.e ebooks) that are also being listed. A dozen of those are from Skyhorse, covering new books from Ventura and Russell, Patrick Nolan's volume fingering the CIA, Jim D's Parkland volume, Joan Mellen's expanded FAREWELL TO JUSTICE and reprints of titles by Scott, Weisberg (several), Meagher and Fonzi. You could pretty much fill a bookshelf with the various JFK assassination volumes Skyhorse is bringing to market in the next 14 weeks. If Skyhorse passed on Joseph McBride's volume (or Joseph never felt the need to submit it, being happier with Hightower) it probably has less to do with Skyhorse judging the latter volume too hot to handle, and more to do with the company already pressing their printing and shipping logistics (plus promotional efforts) past breaking point on the subject. Skyhorse has a lovely, elegant looking hardcover of THE LAST INVESTIGATION coming out shortly, and at any other point in time it would be worthy of a substantial promotional push all by itself. At the moment, however, it'll probably be drowned out by the others appearing alongside it.

The fact that INTO THE NIGHTMARE is only available through marketplace (rather than Amazon direct) has led me to place it further back down the queue than I would have liked. I tend to buy a bunch of books at a time, but for ITN I'll have to swallow a sizeable international postage charge just for that volume alone. (Another friend of mine in Melbourne has already bugged me this week as to when I'll be getting it, as he wants to check out my copy).

Yeah, I rarely buy from Amazon, for many reasons, international postage being one. Free postage always wins me over. My copy arrived last week and it was around $65 between the exchange rate and int. postage. Look forward to reading it though.

I should point out that Len Osanic of Black Op Radio is doing an extensive series of interviews with McBride, on the strength of the first of which I ordered the book. I have not been reading much about the subject in the last few years, but this sounds like it contains much that is new. And yes, Amazon has been getting a bit snarky lately, but they seem to be the only option at this point.

Anthony and Magda: Given the horrific international postage, perhaps a kindle would be a better option. I love mine, but must admit I still order books on these subjects as physical books. I see that coming to a close shortly as I simply have no more room in my house for books. So when I order this one it will be to my kindle. My dear friend Rachel is loving this book, calls me three times a day on connections she is making from her personal experiences and stuff in this book.

Kindles are okay but nothing beats a 3D book that can be flicked through, book marked and references found quickly. But yes, in terms of postage it is 100% better. I still think Kindle book prices are too much though.

Nice to hear it is being covered on Black Op radio.

I'm thinking of buying an e-reader soon. I prefer printed volumes but as of late have been grabbing various JFK-9/11-Deep Politics volumes at the cheaper e-book rate (and reading them via Kindle for Mac on my home computer) to save myself money and shelf space for titles I might only read once. McBride's work looks like a substantial effort that I'm keen to dig deep into, so I'll be grabbing the print version of that one.

I forgot to mention that Skyhorse also have a much cheaper edition of HEAR NO EVIL by Donald Byron Thomas arriving on Amazon the first week of September. I think Skyhorse have acquired nearly all the Mary Ferrell Press volumes and are reprinting them in less expensive editions.

Just started listening to the first Black Op Radio interview with JMcB. It's very good. They have a second already up, and two more interviews apparently forthcoming.

Thank you to those who have expressed interest in an ebook (Kindle) edition
of my book INTO THE NIGHTMARE: MY SEARCH FOR THE KILLERS
OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT. The ebook edition will indeed be coming along soon.
Often in publishing the ebook comes a while after the print
edition. I appreciate your patience. The print edition, meanwhile,
is doing very well via Amazon.com.

Tonight (August 8) I will be doing the third of four interviews
with Len Osanic on his Black Op Radio, blackopradio.com. We will be going
into detail about the murder of Officer Tippit, who he was,
and what really happened to him. The interviews on Len's
excellent program are archived.

I just filmed an interview for the upcoming feature film DALLAS IN WONDERLAND, which is scheduled to come out around the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the John F. Kennedy assassination this November. DALLAS IN WONDERLAND is about a documentary filmmaker who is hired by a TV network to make a film about the assassination and gets embroiled in some PARALLAX VIEWish/THREE DAYS OF THE CONDORish danger in the best tradition of those bold 1970s thrillers that drew from our nightmarish reality.

I am one of the historians and other experts on the assassination who are in the DALLAS IN WONDERLAND documentary film-within-the-film, which will also be released in its complete form as a DVD extra. The filmmakers really know their subject matter -- including director/co-writer Ryan Page and documentary cowriters and coproducers Joseph Green and James Page. They've assembled a solid list of interviewees and want the film to be right up to date in terms of research discoveries about the case, including those in my new book INTO THE NIGHTMARE: MY SEARCH FOR THE KILLERS OF PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY AND OFFICER J. D. TIPPIT. Among the others interviewed already include Jim DiEugenio, Dick Russell, and Dr. David Mantik.
