Thank you for your orders of Campaigning for Clean Air!
I was right, and George was wrong.
When I told my husband George that I was going to set up a President's Day reduced-price offer for the paperback version of my book, he said that such an offer was useless. He claimed that my target audience is not price-sensitive. I told him that marketers do this all the time, because everyone likes a deal. Plus---people like a signed book.
I was right. He was wrong.
But the main thing was: I had fun!
Orders and comments
Not only did I get some orders, but most orders came with a comment. If I had known how much fun it is to sell the book myself, and to see all the comments, I would have done something like this sooner. I quote or paraphrase some of the comments below:
- Tell your husband that students are price-sensitive!
- Hope you win your bet!
- I have a copy of your book, but I want a signed copy that I can keep for myself. I won't lend it to friends (as I do with my current copy).
- From over here in Vernon, near Vermont Yankee, thank you for everything you do.
- Tell George he is wrong.
The sale is over, but you can still buy a book
The sale is over, but the book is widely available.
Whether you are a member of the American Nuclear Society or not, you can buy both the paperback and the ebook through the American Nuclear Society . Members get a discount. You can also buy the book from Amazon or Nook or Kobo. Most people seem to buy it from Amazon.
I encourage people to order the audiobook through Amazon (Audible). The narrator, Pamela Almand, is wonderful! I cannot arrange a discount on the audiobook, but there are ways you can get a discount on Audible, as I understand it
Or your library can buy the book for you
If you go to your local library, you can ask them to order a copy of the book. The paperback book is available from Ingram Spark, as well as being available from the various places listed above. As I understand it, libraries prefer Ingram Spark.
The audiobook is available from Overdrive. Overdrive is set up for bulk audio orders, and to fufill orders from libraries.
However you obtain the book, I hope you enjoy it!
