Paperback

The paperback edition is professionally printed and has a beautiful spine looking great on your shelf with your favorite books. Purchase here or online wherever books are sold.

• Matte Cover
• Colorful Spine
• Available Online at Booksellers
• International links below

The paperback edition features traditional perfect binding with a matte cover and is available in the U.S. and you can purchse it from me here, or online HERE and in the UK HERE. (these are my direct links but there are MANY places to find the book).

You can also find it through a lot of other booksellers online like Amazon (U.S. link), Barnes & Noble (U.S.), Blackwells (UK), and Booktopia (AU) and for Canada, Amazon. 

Or you can request it from your favorite place to buy books, or your library. The Paperback is available worldwide and you can take it someplace to have it spiral bound if you like.

About the international prices: I'm so sorry that I cannot control what others charge for Fitopedia. There are currency conversions, taxes, VAT, and the mark up by the bookseller (from whomever you are purchasing Fitopedia). They are taking what I sell the book and doubling it. I've looked into stocking and shipping books worldwide, I've looked at other printers- I've looked at as many methods as possible. But none seem to be better. Hopefully the printer adds a facility in the EU some day. The book is intended to sell for $75.00 USD-it's a big book! The positive is that I can sell the book outside the United States).
