Richard The Third in hardback for £46.99 anyone? I thought not.
One of the ridiculous vagiaries of trying to get my books on sale on Amazon is that not all roads lead there. So recently I've discovered the most reliable way of getting my books on sale on Amazon, at a good price, and to get author copies at a good price too, is D2D. Here's the latest one...
Through D2D I've managed to get a black and white version of my Comic Tales From The Bible on sale at a very reasonable £9.99. This goes alongside the even more reasonable Shakespeare Omnibus which is 365 pages for just £14.99. But there's the rub. D2D only do black and white books. And I've got a new colour version of Richard.
So, I've produced the new colour Richard through Lulu, and I'm getting very reasonable priced author copies from them that I sell at live events. But the paperback version of Richard in colour was "rejected from Global distribution" (see blogs passim), and I'm betting the hardback will too.
So I go to Blurb. The good news, Blurb's hardback edition has made it onto Amazon. The less good news, it's on there at Blurb prices, which are always silly prices. I'm currently tweaking the Blurb paperbcak version to see if I can get it onto Amazon, but if I do it'll still cost twice or three times what a Lulu edition would.
Onwards and upwards, we do what we can do.
