Paperbacks are selling nicely already but the hardbacks have been a bit of a nightmare . . . .
It’s always interesting working in a different industry and I suppose you can’t get more different than hospitality and books. Of course, I never expected lead times to be as short and companies to be as responsive as they are in the fresh-food business, but things that might take a few days in the food industry seem to take a few weeks in the books industry.
I have been “promised” the hardbacks are arriving today with us, which means getting them to Amazon by Tuesday, them being booked onto the system before they are finally available “some time next week” to buy on Amazon.
Everything’s crossed for them to arrive in time to catch some Christmas sales . . .
