Starting a new topic to announce store changes and info.

So far I have gotten 3 e-books available. These were some of the 8.5X11 comb bound books I had before.

With the help of Racky over in the UK it has been verified that non-US customers can now register on the Bookshelf Store. I don't have any shipable items added as of today but hope to very soon. Starting with Sonicblu's parody CDs. There are 6 if I remember correctly. The 4 I had from before and the 2 new 'Best of Sonicblu' albums.

With the new international shipping option I can now take non-US orders in the store but seems there is only one method and that is via UPS. Seems US Postal Service cannot be selected for shipping international orders.

Still feeling my way around the new store builder so if you find anything you think may be wrong please let me know so I can investigate.

One thing I have noted so far is the 'Short Description' field will only allow 250 characters. Now if you enter it as HTML all the code counts as characters so you can fill that up real fast and have nearly nothing actually showing. Razz

250 characters?

That's not enough to really get a good descri

That's just the 'Short' one.
If you click the graphic you go to the next page and can get the 'Long' one.

Mike,

What I really wanted to point out was tha...

Some store updates. http://www.raccoons-bookshelf.org http://www.raccoons-bookshelf.biz

Now available is Destiny's Change by our own Kellan.
I have 7 copies right now.

In the works:

AVC from Aslaug, I hope to send this one to the printer in the next couple of weeks.

Right behind it is Lifetimes by Jim Lane. I think everything is ready I just have to assemble into the book and have Jim give it his blessing so I can send it off.

Sonicblu has sent me his new book Brandish Mountain. I have not as yet had time to check it over and I will need to convert the cover files. Date to the printer is unknown at this time but not too long I hope.

Still trying to get artwork for Phil Geusz's Freedom City. This one may take a bit longer yet. We have no cover or interior art at this time.

Sadly I am out of stock on most of my best sellers but I hope to start to restock in the next 4 weeks on some of them. I think I will be ordering only the first book of the Wilderhom Trilogy, Riders of the Mind, at first and follow slowly with the other two books. The rate fo restock depends on how my finances cooperate.

I have updated the Bookshelf Store.

All the books I have are now in it, even those I have presently sold out of so people will know they will be available when I get new stock.

Jim Lane's Lifetimes is listed and one already sold so 6 are left from this printing.

I hope to have AVC up in the next few weeks. I will post when the order has been sent to the printer.

Rabbit's Freedom City now has an artist so it is at last on the move. I will be busy with final edits on that one for a bit.

After FC is sent to the printer I move on the Brandish Mountain by Sonicblu.

Busy, busy, busy. Maybe I should be a beaver instead of a coon. Wink

Keeps me out of trouble.

I have just sent the revised AVC files to the printer along with a request for 20 copies.

The goofs were not many but were at various places.

The biggest one was the reversed headers, the page numbers were in the spine area instead of out at the page corners. Can't believe I did that. Confused

So I should have them in about two to three weeks.
Of those 20, 7 are spoken for. That leaves 'lucky' 13 left. Wink

They will be listed in the store in the next week or so but will not be able to be ordered until I actually get stock.

Funds are still thin so I can only order a new printing about once a month for now. Still in the to be printed file are Redeeming Factors and all three of the Wilderhom Trilogy.

Current projects in progress are Rabbit's Freedom City and Brandish Mountain from Sonicblu.

I will try to keep you updated on things here.
