After quite a while resting on my more or less laurels (past listings) it's time to get a move on and put up some more listings. My goal is five books every day from now on. This should be achievable, but not according to my past performance.

These books get listed in three places: on Amazon, Biblio, and Half. Books without ISBNs (older books) generally will not be listed on half. My prices might vary between these three places. Amazon and Half tell me competing prices, so I peg mine on them. Thus, if the lowest price for Deadly Percheron is $98 on Amazon, I might peg mine at $95. If it weren't my only copy maybe I'd be more reasonable. In fact, I think my Biblio listing is more reasonable.

Going forward (and possibly backward), links to titles of books will send you to the main Amazon listing. My listing will be somewhere amidst the other maybe 237 listings. This is where my photo of the book can be seen, which will probably be a better one than the one Amazon features. Half doesn't let me attach my own photo—at least I don't think it does. Photos are also at biblio. Lots of older listings still don't have photos. Nor updated prices.

I've been lousy at selling direct via email. Sorry about that, if you've tried me. Listing through the major portals keeps me honest—also prompt and reliable.

problem with my AOL email

I don't know why, but my AOL mail won't load. For a while I could see the list of email that has come in, with sender and subject information, but I couldn't open any -- or delete any either. Now all I can see is that I have eleven new messages (at present). It was acting up yesterday and I did get to the mail a couple times, but now I can't get anything. It just goes on saying it is loading, ad infinitum.
---Anyone sending me email now, please use my cdrummbks at gmail.com address. Thanks! (I have also changed my address for receiving Paypal funds to that address too.)
