Hi Sam,
I am ordering 3 books and when I reach the shipping part, it is showing charges for delivery in Dubai. Don’t you have them available here with you in the UAE?
thanks
Michelle
Hi Michelle, the books are dispatched from UK and US. Pls send me an email next week, I can try to help from Dubai.
Sam,
I ordered your book on September 14th. ORDER #TAB2132 . It’s now November 16th. Still no sign of it in Toowoomba . All the best, Peter Geran.
Pls send email to sales@invisiblehands.co.uk
Unfortunately covid made shipping to Australia from UK very slow.
Hi Sam
My son is a big fan of yours and we have just bought him Air 3 and Air 747.
Unfortunately we are unable to find new copies of Air 1 or Air 2 to buy anywhere. Do you know where we can get them from please?
Thank you

Hi Sam!
So excited that it’s finally published. Just wanted to check when US preorders (from 2019) would be shipping out.
Blue skies,
François
The publisher is shipping all the backlog orders at the moment. If you haven’t received your book by end of the month, please let me and them know.
I actually want to buy it but I live in Indonesia. So, it is very far from the U.K. I hope I can have it someday
Online orders ship globally, so you are able to get the book in Indonesia – Ted
I just got the book and as your other books this was excellent. Many awesome pictures and great details. Keep them coming.
Looks fantastic, Sam! Look forward to reading it when it comes.
This is the most pleasant news of the day. congratulations Sam!! I had received a message on my phone about a couple of weeks ago that my order was fulfilled. But didn’t know if they were shipped as well. Maybe they might show up on the 15th Sep. Congratulations again.
Hi Sam!
Looking forward to the book. I preordered the signed edition when you announced it back in 2019. However, I need to change my shipping address because I am moving, and I have contacted The Airline Boutique a few times recently about this but have not received a reply. Anything else I can do to make sure it’s delivered to my new address?
Blue skies,
François
Sam,
Like François, I preordered a signed addition when initially offered. However, with the passing of so much time, and an unforeseen change in expatriate job position (forcing an international move), my shipping address needs to be changed. I’ve attempted to contact The Airline Boutique, sending three separate emails over the last month, but have received no reply. Any guidance or direct assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Craig
Hi Craig, thanks for pre-ordering. I have emailed Airline Boutique and included you. Please wait for his reply and give him your new address.
So, whats the latest on this book? Eagerly waiting…
We will notify you when it is ready. Be assured it is in progress!
Could you please make Air1 and Air3 available in the bookstore link?
They are totally sold out books.
Hello
That’s understandable with the COVID-19 crisis as a lot of things are running quite hectic.
Take as much time as needed,I don’t mind waiting longer for the book release
Hello again
That’s great news that AIR747 is back on track to being finally released!
It is also depends on how the Covid-19/Europe lockdown plays out, as our printer and designer is in Europe. Please bear with us.
Hello Sam
I have preordered a Signed copy of AIR747
I’m wondering will the current coronavirus crisis have an effect on the release date
for AIR747?
Since your last book AIR3 was published by chinese publisher Pixelium and also printed in China
PS On the website where you can preorder AIR747 the Signed version
still shows a release date of January 2020 which is clearly not the case.
We have almost finished the book! Including a few additional 747 chapters, such as the Desert Graveyard visit and flying the 747 Combi with horses. So we expect it to be out by April. The delay is due to my work, but certainly nothing to do with COVID-19.
Its March, and eagerly waiting for the book launch….
Now the date has moved to March 2020? Like one of the person who has commented here, I placed the order to know more about 747..Have been eagerly waiting since Feb 2019..You got it right, Feb 2019….And for two copies of this book…
Dear Vijay, we’re sorry for this delay. Your order is safe but feel free to ask for a refund anytime by sending email to airline boutique.
Hi Sam,
Because of you and my favourite 747 i placed the order during Apr.
Send several chasing email to the seller but no one reply until i received a short note that the book will be delayed till this coming Nov.
When Nov was passed, i sent the email to the seller and still NO reply from them.
This is annoying and i hope i can get some updates from you.
Dear Victor, we’re targetting Jan 2020 as it will be 50th annivesary of 747 first commercial flight. I do apologize of the delay but I was able to include few more meaningful projects such as inside the Qatar 747-8F flight, Private B747-SP flight and Last EL AL B747-400 draw a 747 in the sky.
So, whats the latest on the book release?
I am targeting to finish by year end. Now including few more B747-8F and B747-SP VIP flight.
Any update on the publishing date?
Hi Ian, we’re still delayed in writing and designing. Please contact Mr Charles Kennedy, the publisher at Astral Horizons for more information.
Was the book launched today?? Looking forward to have the book
Regrettably, the book is further delayed. We have not complete the project. Kindly ask the publisher for more details.
Sam, do you have any sample pages of AIR747 to share with your fan community? Eagerly waiting for the book launch…Good luck
we’re working on it!
Nope, I dont want the refund…I want the book and am excited about it…
🙂
I see the shipment date for this book has been now moved to June 29 from May 14th…Is this for the reprint or for the first launch itself?
This is due to I am too busy and running behind finishing the book. Many apologies. Rest assured you will be among the first to receive it when it is published. Alternatively, pls contact the publisher for refund. Sorry for this.
Hi Sam, I would like to buy your book.. are my paintings in it? That would be really special to me! Can I do a bank transfer? Kindest regards, Mario van Eeren, from the Netherlands..
Hi Mario. I will contact you on FB once the book is published.
Hello Sam…Any more news as to when this book will be available?
Please remember to sign my first book 🙂
TY
Jeff 🙂
We’re busy working on the book at the moment! Will ask the publisher to convert your order to a “signed” one!
Very Good
