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.

another box of books

Another box of books dropped in, this one 28# of mostly review copies, lots of them from the UK. Here are the bare titles:
9tailfox • ally • bloodmind • burdens of empire • carnival • darkland • days • deadstock • divergence • helix • hydrogen steel • infoquake • jennifer government • living next door to the god of love • matriarch • meq • narrows • nova swing • old man's war • one of us • outrageous fortune • polystom • pretender • rollback • snow • spin control • stamping butterflies • undertow • untied kingdom • virtual evil • voyage of the sable keech • wellstone • world before • x president
Hopefully I can get around to cataloging these before long, but I still have several other piles and boxes of books that I am trying not to find too out of the way a place to stash, lest they be completely overlooked.
