Riding for the Rest of Us

From: Hannah

Dear Jessica, I have owned your book for only six months but I think it will wear out soon, because I read it all the time. It's the best horse book I have ever read, and I feel that you are talking "just to me." Please forgive me if this is a rude question, but do you know if it will ever be available in paperback? I want to buy copies for my riding teacher and my sister, but I am on a budget -- please understand that I think your book is well worth every penny!!!

Thank you for your answer and also for writing such a great book.

Hannah and Moondancer

Hi Hannah -- first, thank you very, very much. I'm so happy to know that you enjoy the book enough to wear it out -- that's a real compliment!

I don't think there are any plans to print it in paperback -- but you might write to the publishers and suggest it, who knows, they might go for the idea. ;-)

You CAN get the book at a discount, though! Bookstores and tack shops are going to sell it at full retail, and I sell personalized, signed copies at full retail plus shipping -- but since you're online, check out the prices that Amazon.com offers! This is an enormous bookstore, and offers terrific discounts, usually 30% I think. This is a great way to make books more affordable -- don't worry, I understand all about budgets. A discount is a wonderful thing, and you should take advantage of it!

Go for it -- and thanks again for the kind words. And if you'd like to go public with them, Amazon.com has a really nifty service: you can REVIEW the book via e-mail and they'll post the review on their site for the benefit of other readers.
