I need 300 pledges to buy a copy of my Milton Keynes book to be published

Thank you everybody, I am so grateful your support, without it well, we'd still be in the 210 or something to go, so this is wonderful.

And thank you so much Keith and Mike for your thread bumps, I really appreciate it, I don't want to do it too often myself for fear of becoming a nuisance but I will bump it now and then but the kind gesture is well, I'm very grateful.

Vicky, sign me up for a copy too. Let me know how and when to pay (Paypal?). Great work too.

Tom -- no money needed at the moment, just names and how many copies peeps want, if you visit http://vickylamburn.com/milton-keynes/buy-book and put your name, email and number of copies down, that will count for now.

That way I can keep everyone in touch when we reach the target (thinking positive!) and I can advise you on purchase options e.g. Amazon, Paypal etc. There will be a launch in a couple of places in the UK (Milton Keynes clearly and either Brighton or Worthing, Worthing being my hometown, Brighton being where I used to live with a big arts movement there, although Worthing has an excellent arts vibe too.) with signed copies etc.

Logistics will be sorted once I can slap down a spreadsheet on the publisher's desk and say there's your 300, where do I sign? 🙂

Thanks again everybody, to each and every copy registered means a lot.

Vicky

Does this mean you are going to be a famous photographer now? If so we should think about getting our copies signed ...

Haha, you can have them signed but as for famous photographer, well one, I still have just a little over half the target to go, but that's not too bad, the registration has only been running 6 days and secondly, when I decided to make a go of a project on Milton Keynes, I was under no illusions that I was on a route to fame, fortune, stardom and all the rest of it 🙂

I just registered & bumped the thread. I enjoyed the photos you put on Flickr & being a contact. Hoping you have good fortune with the book.

Thanks Greg, we will see, enjoy your photos too! I'm constantly surprised of the wide interest; it's good that people are enjoying this both as a local interest item and an item for photography's sake -- if that makes sense!

Thanks for the comment, maybe I do kind of know what I'm doing after all 😀 (I wish I did, I could put it into words then and write this introduction for it which is doing my head in!)

I'm in, too.

Vicky, I've admired your photos for some time, and have followed the MK project from time to time over on flickr. Good luck!

Thanks! 🙂 Seems a bit odd to me to think someone could admire my work, I mean I enjoy photography and I quite often get a smile out of something I have taken; but I guess that if other people enjoy it then that's a reasonable goal as any!

Thanks Will!

Thank you again everybody, 20 signed up in one day (not all from here but mostly by the looks of it) so it's possible that with a tail wind and something else, it'll get there! I think getting half way virtually in 1 week (that'll be tomorrow evening) will be a good positive feeling for me; but I'll fight tooth and nail for the last ones for sure! I don't want to let folks down now, not that I would, but I would have to either find someone else to publish -- not easy -- or try to secure funding again to do my own print run -- again not easy as I have been turned down twice, mostly due to not very good submissions but anyway.

Pledge to buy a copy or two today

Thanks,

Vicky

 
There seems to be no way to register that doesn't involve me giving personal details to Facebook, so I just sent you an e-mail with a pre-order.

The e-mail contains a shipping address in Kyrgyzstan, which may be a problem. If it is, I can give you a German shipping address, too.

If you can email me on vicky.lamburn@gmail.com as I haven't received the email yet oddly enough. All I need is name, email and number of copies (1,2 etc.) you would purchase if published. No need for addresses etc. at this stage, because orders for outside of the local area will be served by Amazon and possibly others on launch (hence they'll deal with shipping etc.)

I'm not aware that using the Facebook registration form passes any data to Facebook, certainly there is nothing to suggest it does, instead it provides an easy way for FB users to have a form pre-filled. The only data recorded is what that form captures.

Thanks
Vicky

OK. I had sent you an e-mail tto the info@... address listed on the site, I just sent you another to this address.

I'd be surprised if the form didn't report any data back to Facebook, seeing that I don't even get it displayed if I don't explicitly allow JavaScript from Facebook to be executed. Seeing that Facebook's main product is data on people, registration forms such as this are a great way to gather links between interests and the e-mail addresses of people that don't have a Facebook account yet.
