The first and easiest to put in motion is now beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, I moved all of my remaining physical books from storage into my condo. I took a count of what&#8217;s left, updated my site&#8217;s inventory, and dropped their prices. The plan is to <a href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sell all of my remaining physical books<\/a> (I will keep a few for posterity and nostalgia) and then retire the e-commerce section of my website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have also streamlined this process somewhat by removing the &#8220;signed book&#8221; option, as well as the book bundles. You are already getting the books for less than the bundles would have been, and for signing &#8212; well, you&#8217;re just going to need to find me in the wild sometime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of the time of this post, these are the current counts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/books\/extreme-double-knitting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Extreme Double-knitting<\/a>, formerly $29.95, now $19.95. 294 copies available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/books\/double-or-nothing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Double or Nothing<\/a>, formerly $29.95, now $19.95. 499 copies available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/books\/parallax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parallax<\/a>, formerly $19.95, now $14.95. 150 copies available.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/patterns\/bipolar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bipolar<\/a>, formerly $6.00, now $5.00 (the PDF is $4.95 so you&#8217;re getting the physical copy for a nickel). 31 copies available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these still come with the free PDF download I&#8217;ve always offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to be 100% clear: <strong>I have no plan to reprint these.<\/strong> Amazon will not be getting more stock from me. The copies above are the <strong>last copies available<\/strong>, ever, of the physical books. The digital books will remain available indefinitely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please spread the word.<\/strong> I will be doing my best to let everyone know, but word of mouth is still the best way to reach people. I know most\/many of you who read this blog already have all the books of mine you&#8217;re likely to need. Don&#8217;t forget about the upcoming gifting holidays, though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who reacted to the news that my prices would soon be dropping by buying books at full price, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. For those who still want to do something like that, you&#8217;re welcome to <a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/fallingblox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">drop me a tip at Ko-fi<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/fallingblox\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">join my Patreon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your continued support, and stay tuned &#8212; I have one more surprise coming up soon while I still have an <a href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">e-commerce site<\/a> at my disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alasdair Post-Quinn, <a href=\"https:\/\/double-knitting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fallingblox Designs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I mentioned in my previous post, I have plans to make some changes to Fallingblox Designs.
