Just trying to make sure no one misses it. Laughing

When I requested photos of folks collections several people said they missed it. I thought the shotgun approach might work better this time.

I've been eagerly checking the number of hits on the book and and the order status each day. Today I sold my first copy to someone other than myself! Yeah! In fact three copies were sold! Yessss!

I know it's not much, but I have not really had a chance to "market it" anywhere other than Rik's site so selling three copies is huge for me! I've actually published a book AND sold a copy! Yessss!

Thanks again Rik and all for your support.

I plan on ordering a copy myself very soon. I know what it takes to publish a book so my hat goes off to you Linda. Your efforts were no doubt driven by your passion for the hobby which makes it all the more sweet.

As a writer myself, I know how much work that is. I also plan on ordering one at some point, when the funds allow.

Very nice work Linda! It's a lot of fun to create something for a hobby you really love, isn't it?

Nice work!!! Be interesting to see the bottom line..Since I'm out of the loop with the pubishing side of it Linda, Can you explain how this works? Did you approach a publisher? Did you do the whole thing yourself? Excuse my ignorance.

Linda · Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2007 7:05 am Post subject:

Goldie, I'm out of the loop also. I'm using an online publisher/print on demand shop. I submited the work and they print it on demand when someone orders it.

Don't apologize. I appreciate the order. I just wish you would have purchased from me. I have 30 books in my living room. I GOTTA MOVE THESE BOOKS! Laughing

I've taken the feedback from other customers and I'm working on an updated version incorporating everyones feedback, but I need to sell the stack in my living room first. The second book will be sold at half price to previous customers because I really do appreciate your support.

Thanks Again.

Linda, try selling them one at a time in the Handheld section of ebay.co.uk I sold my copy this way (sorry!) and ironically sold it for more money than i bought it for, so it shows there is demand!
