---Finally got around to calling HarperCollins to try to find out what happened to my Feb 10 order that seems to have disappeared. Indeed it did disappear. Now that I have re-faxed it I think the order will go through. I should have checked on it earlier, but I hate to get caught up in corporate telephone mazes. Turns out there was no difficulty at all. Now all that needs to happen is for the books to arrive. I hope the people who wanted them still do.

---Email to Night Shade:

Dear Jason:
Your ambitions to get my books sent have not yet materialized. I haven't received anything since your promising phonecall.

Yours,
Chris

Hi Chris,
The inventory finally arrived from Michigan on Saturday, and three boxes
went out to you on Monday. UPS says you should have them on Friday.
Take care,
Jason

---Me:

Dear Jason:
Good to hear it. My imagination had me being forgotten about. Hope you are not over-working yourself.

Yours,
Chris

Chris,
I was unable to access your catalogue postings on the biblio site. I couldn't find any links. I just found an abecedarian (A-Z) search format for individual titles. Can you help?
thanks,

---My reply:

I just checked out my link in my blog to biblio.com and my info seems to be there okay. Maybe there was something going on with the site when you tried. So far I still only have Mic- to Shw- in the alphabet listed there (as well as Signet and Tor paperbacks). Next batch will bring it through Silv-. Of course, if there are any specific things you want me to let you know about, I could email you with what I might have. If there is a lot you want to check on, I could send you my Catalog Data CD-R which also contains some slick-looking JPEG snapshots of lots of book covers--all the ones I have been cataloguing since getting a digital camera. These CD-Rs go in with shipments going out.
Sorry about my lack of response to earlier emails. I probably even went so far as actually drafting some sort of response, but then not quite getting it in sendable form--something that happens way too often for my liking.

---And then I wrote:

Re-reading your email about my biblio.com listings I see that I didn't quite respond to your question. As far as getting the listings to all show up, I'm not sure how you do that. I think I have had the same problem. With something like 3700 separate entries so far, maybe they would prefer you to narrow your search somehow. Maybe if you ask their Help Desk there is something I don't know about. If you learn anything, let me know!
