Performance Paragliding – Preparation (Paperback Edition)

Yippee! The first volume of Performance Paragliding – Preparation, is now available in paperback edition. Thanks René and Alex. By looking for a solution for you German readers, I could find a solution for all potential readers!

Sometimes you end where you should have started. I was so focused on publishing an e-book to avoid physical issues that I neglected options. With the major one lying exactly in front of me: Amazon Direct Publishing. I might promote a bit too much their services these times, but this particular one makes a difference for authors: you can publish a paperback edition, worldwide, with no minimum copies to print, at a material cost of about 3 Euros per copy and a distribution margin of 40%. All in all, very attractive for modest authors.

I will see if, like it is possible for the e-book, I can upgrade the content of the book. I could add pictures to make it look nicer and more colorful. Anyway, even though pictures could make it more enjoyable, I hope you will learn from the text, or find sensible questions to ask yourself about your practice. On paper!

First volume of Performance Paragliding is out!

First things first: let me wish you all the best you deserve for 2019.

I have not published much recently, but let’s have a good start for the new year. As a matter of fact, i have a good feeling about what 2019 will bring. 

Performance Paragliding

Here is the reason why I feel so good (well, sure, there are others, but that is not the topic here): the first volume of Performance Paragliding is now available as an ebook from Amazon Kindle store

Un petit dernier pour la route

Dites donc, rien de publié ici depuis un moment? Il faut dire, j’aime vraiment mon dernier billet sur l’Australie. Et puis ce que j’ai pu faire en vol ensuite, Mosel Open, vol de plaine, Airtour (ah non, là, pas de vol!), PWC en Italie, je l’ai fait d’abord pour moi, pour me balader, rencontrer du monde, profiter des voyages. Bien entendu, j’ai plein de brouillons rédigés de-ci de-là mais rien de suffisamment inspirant pour que je publie. La fin de semaine dernière m’a inspiré, alors voici une nouvelle petite aventure en parapente!

We have a new title, and sub-titles!

Performance Paragliding

Aligning planets is not something you can decide to, but only observe. Tough call to find a consensus out of the short poll. Nevertheless, the first result on titles for the English version of « Parapente Performance » is unexpected and outstanding: swapping words of the initially planned title is a must. As in military and flying action, best strategy in litterature does not survive the first minute of engagement. Thanks a lot for your feedback. As well, I should have thought of a « native English speaker » checkbox in the poll, but readers will be from all over the world, won’t they? 😀
