Howdy,

T.J. here again.... So, I'm learning new stuff everyday.

One of the biggest lesson we learned in the past was that nothing sells your book like your book itself. With that in mind we are over-printing Catching Lucifer's Lunch, in fact it's already at the printers, and Diamond is going to help us get a copy into the hands of 1000 retailer most likely to order a copy.

But, the dilemma was that I thought I was going to have all 5000 copies shipped to my house, and then repackage them and ship them out again myself. Anybody that has gone through the distribution process using Quebecor as a printer knows that the Diamond's pick-up service is invaluable. And I thought that I was going to have to go without. But Jay mentioned on a whim that maybe Quebecor offered storage. So I asked...

And they DO! For $50 a month they'll store our product, ship to me what I need as I need it, and Diamond will pick-up their copies as they go and bill me their fee (which is peanuts compared to the shipping and handling cost, plus time wasted I would have had to go through).

Happy day!
