Hey, "Greg" -these are the facts


 Someone from the United States said that with international shipping and tariffs it would be too expensive to buy Black Tower comics.  

Let me explain this AGAIN: the company I used is American and despite being in the UK I still have to pay US taxes. Now, the online store means that if you order a book you see it in your regional currency and you will also see the shipping costs which are local. 

The books themselves are printed in the region they are ordered from so USA -printed in USA. Australia -printed in Australia -you get the point?  No overseas shipping or tax and you put work into local companies and money into the local economy.

In fact, the printers and print on demand company do far better out of sales than I ever do. Fact of life.

If you select a book it will take you to shipping at which point you can see the LOCAL charges and IT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE BUYING THE BOOK it just let's you see what it will cost.  

It is really that simple and as a struggling Independent publisher every sale counts. And there is a world wide audience out there via this blog or just checking the online store. As US comic prices are set to rise more at least you can guarantee Black Tower Books are not going to raise prices and make them unaffordable.

Hopefully, "Greg" appreciates that?
