BelleSG Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Did anybody order/buy/read this book already? I'd love to, but it's so expensive! I'm sure it's interesting, because he seemed to know what he was talking about in the (A)sexual documentary. Here's a link from Amazon with a description of the content.

sinisterporpoise Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I believe Amazon.co.uk gave a premature release date. Link to post Share on other sites
Patrisha Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 i want to read this book so bad :( i need more money Link to post Share on other sites
thylacine Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Maybe it can be gotten at libraries, after it's released? Link to post Share on other sites
hexaquark Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Maybe it can be gotten at libraries, after it's released? Anyone can try specifically requesting the book at their local/university library. They often have sections of their websites for suggestions like this (ex. NYPL) or you can contact someone more directly. The fact it is the first book of its kind may encourage librarians to purchase it, especially if someone expresses an interest. Actually, here is some advice on this exact topic. Link to post Share on other sites
Moon-Lit Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 when will the price go down :( thats expensive Link to post Share on other sites
Ace Amoeba Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'll use some of the $$$ I got was advanced on the asexual film being shot in Philly April 26-27(all Aces are welcome to be part of it as extras). I will review the book honestly! Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Happy Toast Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I checked on the publisher's website, and it indicates that the book is supposed to come out in August. Link to post Share on other sites
Crickets4ricky Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Another way to pick this up would be to look it up on WorldCat. It'll probably take some time but you just have to register and voila! So far four libraries (in the U.S.) are listed as holding a copy. Link to post Share on other sites
inter\m/ent Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Surely the paperback or e-book will be out for cheaper soon after? Link to post Share on other sites
JangoFett Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Best bet is just to get it at a library. I'm sure my uni library will get a copy in. Link to post Share on other sites
BelleSG Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Here is another link to Barnes & Noble. They write that it's coming out in August & have added a table of contents. Only 4 months to go. :) Link to post Share on other sites
Batman's Ace Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 After reading the overview and table of contents, four months is gonna take forever. Link to post Share on other sites
Verb Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Looking at the layout of the cover as shown on Amazon there, I'd love to know how many people read it as "Understanding a Sexuality" :P Hmm...I might look into getting it when it comes out, could make for an interesting read.

Lord Happy Toast Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 A limited preview of the book is now available on google books. Google is saying that the book is supposed to come out on the 16th of this month, and Amazon now lists a Kindle version as coming out on the same day. Link to post Share on other sites
Mademoiselle Pink Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Am I seeing it wrong or does Amazon not have the ebook version available while Barnes&Noble does? I'd much prefer to buy the kindle version... Link to post Share on other sites
baochan Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Am I seeing it wrong or does Amazon not have the ebook version available while Barnes&Noble does? I'd much prefer to buy the kindle version... I'd wait and see. I'm sure they'll both have it digitally but if Amazon doesn't have it listed yet it leads me to believe the date might be a placeholder that hasn't been updated in a while. Here's hoping though, it sounds fascinating. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Happy Toast Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The Kindle version became available today on the Amazon.com website at midnight Pacific time. (I purchased about 2 min. later...) Link to post Share on other sites
5_♦♣ Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Chapter 9 (in the ToC): Do you have hypoactive skydiving disorder? I must get the book for that alone. (I looked inside the book on Amazon). Link to post Share on other sites
Redbeard Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Has anyone been able to buy the hardcover edition from someplace reputable? Amazon.com doesn't have it at all (They have "New" and "Used", but see my note about "reputable"...), Barnes and Noble is says it's available but my pre-order was "delayed", Amazon.ca has it for "pre-order" still (With a release date of yesterday...), Amazon.co.uk has it as being released in October, Powell's is also in pre-order land, Elliot Bay Books is "temporarily out", and UW pretends it doesn't even exist. It looks like the publisher themselves might have it, and I'm a bit tempted to cancel my preorder and try with them if nothing happens in the next couple of days. (By "reputable", I mean someplace that's known to not be a middleman. There are a lot of online book sellers, even in the Amazon Marketplace, that simply buy the book from somewhere else when you order it. They don't actually have the stock. That means if they were planning to ship the book to you by buying it from Amazon or B&N, they're not going to have much luck if Amazon or B&N isn't selling it to them.) And hey, know what *is* in stock and available today? </ShamelessPlug> Link to post Share on other sites
EmRoseBee Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi! re-signed up to AVEN (been years since I was here) hoping to find/join in discussion about Bogaert's new book...reading it on Kindle as I type. Or. Well. When I get done typing, I'll go back to it. ANYWAY. What is this, "Asexuality, a brief introduction" ...? :) Lots going on around here I see! Link to post Share on other sites
Dame du Lac Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 It's now available on kindle in the UK, but hardback not due out til October. A few new/used copies available. Link to post Share on other sites
