A reminder that the budget paperback version of CATS ON FILM is now available from all the evil amazons. It always bothered me that the full colour paperback was so expensive, even when I shaved my royalties right back. So at the end of 2018 I published a budget black and white version: £10.99 in pounds sterling, $12.99 in American dollars and around 12.83 euros in Europe (it might vary slightly from European country to European country, depending on amazonian exchange-related whim).
Each colour screengrab has been hand-treated and tonally adjusted so that it works in black and white, as opposed to printing out as a mushy grey splodge.
(The colour version of Cats on Film is still available, as is the kindle version. You can also buy kindle, epub and PDF versions from smashwords.)
Here is the budget paperback of Cats on Film at amazon.co.uk
And at amazon.com
And amazon.fr
And amazon.de
I guess it’s also possible to order Cats on Film from bookshops or libraries.
I used to self-publish via CreateSpace, but last year amazon merged this publishing arm with their Kindle Direct Publishing. In my opinion, the merger was rushed and not properly thought through, so the resulting experience was frustrating, not very pleasant, and I was not satisfied with the results.
If I can find a viable non-amazon POD publishing method I will use it – all suggestions welcome. (I’ve already tried Blurb and Lulu.)
CATS ON FILM
“Possibly the greatest book ever” (Peter Hearn)
“This is not a niche book for a few sad shut in kitty owning film buffs. No, this is a funny alternative history of cinema told thru a feline lens. Alien, 3rd Man, Godfather etc. Purrfect.” (Adrian McKinty)
“original, diverse, intelligent, and multi-cultural” (Vanessa Morgan @ Celluloid Diaries)
“a smart, shrewd and at times laugh-out-loud study of cats in film and the various roles they’ve played throughout cinema history” (Kimberly Lindbergs @ FilmStruck)
(K. A. Laity)
Just wanted to say – my sister got this for my birthday a few weeks ago. She knows that three things I love are cats, the cinema and the writing of Anne Billson. I read it back to front, immediately. Any possibility of a “Cats on Film 2”?
