This is how our tiny village Post Office weighs large boxes. On a scale, balanced with bags of sugar!
400 copies of the DVD Sea Kayak with Gordon Brown will arrive soon at our distributors Cordee.
This is double their initial order, which I couldn't fulfill, having sold too many of the first batch. 600 went in just 10 days!
A second presing of 1000 arrived 2 days ago. But with advance orders I now have fewer than 600 left in the UK and under 550 in the US. And there's not time for another pressing before Christmas.
If you want a copy before the holiday season, the US / Canadian web store opens Monday with free shipping worldwide. The European web store is open now.
If you're a UK / European retailer waiting for your order, Cordee should get out to you in the next few days.
However, I suspect they might use a more sophisticated measuring aparatus.
