Norilana Books - 4th Anniversary Non-Sale Sale!

[norilana]

It's almost the end of the month, and I completely forgot...

August is Norilana Books anniversary month.

And this year marks the fourth anniversary that Norilana has been in business as a small independent press

If only your books were in my local independent bookseller...

The next best thing is to buy them from an independent bookstore that has an online site. My favorite is Powell's.

The problem is, I like to support a bookstore like Giovanni's Room. But since Norilana books are so short-discounted, a bookstore does not make enough money to make ordering helpful.

This is very true. I try to get dealers at conventions to carry them, but they do so only as a favor after much arm-twisting since they don't make any money, Ingrams takes such a huge cut.

Thanks for pointing these details out.

Now, last time I checked, Giovanni's Room offered James Fairfax by Adam Campan (the excellent GLBT and gay marriage mash-up of Jane Austen's Emma) from their website, for example

Good idea, in fact most independent stores allow online ordering of all of our titles, and there's always special order.

I know what Steve's getting at, though. I've had conversations with folks about Clockwork Phoenix where I've been asked where the books can be found, and when I tell them "only online" they're always somewhat disappointed.

There's always the special order option.... :-)
