Andrew WhiteheadFather Bob, I love the work you do and I'm happy to support you. But a signed book is signed by you... with a pen. The low resolution copy of your signature inside the book is not really a signature. It's not signed by Father Bob, it's signed by a printing press. Again, very happy to support you, but let's be real here.11y

Mark WilsonStill nothing here, either. One more e-mail and if I get no response I'm reporting this. As far as I know - and as far as you've indicated with your silence - you took our money and it ended there. After your conduct with delivering backer rewards, I'd like proof that the money even made it to the intended recipients. I'd remind you that you are still undertaking a business transaction, and will still be subject to the terms of the Australian Consumer Law. I expect to rapidly see either: A) My book, as paid for B) My money refunded ..and I expect to see a full explanation for your complete inaction, other than the sole action of taking our money.11y

Mark Wilson...and a month after my last comment, still nothing. Seriously, why give me a time you won't stick to? You were better off silent than coming out and directly lying to me.11y

Mark WilsonJust had an e-mail from the organisers: "Hi there. Sorry it's taken so long to get you your signed book. We are posting them out this week. So if your address has changed can you let us know by emailing [email protected] and we'll sort it out. Thanks for your patience." Might want to let them know if your address has changed. Good to know everything's still going as planned. :)11y
