Have you ever noticed that when you have a lot going on, you're too busy to sit down to write and tell the news? That' s more or less the story at FoxAcre Press. Since the last FoxBytes way back when, we can report new titles, an upgraded and expanded online catalog, new services, and a new fulfillment operation. Yours truly, the publisher, Roger MacBride Allen, is even on a new continent! So, sorry this FoxBytes is overdue, but here's the news...
We're proud to announce our new online ordering system for bookstores and libraries, www.foxacre.com /wholesale/wholesale.htm. To celebrate, we're offering special dealer discounts until June 30, 2003. Plus, if you enter the word "foxbyte" in the coupon code blank at checkout, we'll throw in free shipping via Media Mail to the U.S.! Visit our Professional Sales Welcome Page to learn more.
Our online catalog for retail customers has just gotten a major upgrade. Now you can find the books you want more quickly and more easily. All the navigation links have been reworked, and it's faster and simpler than ever to get all the information on the books and authors that interest you. Plus, you can now bring up a listing of all books by a particular FoxAcre author.
To celebrate, we're giving our customers a present: just order two or more items, and, at checkout, select Media Mail as your shipping choice. You'll get free shipping on your order! Offer good for U.S. customers only. Offer expires June 30, 2003.
If you think you have bad luck, then it's time you sat down for a visit with Sam Boone. Bud Sparhawk's highly improbable tales of galactic misadventure, alarming aliens, and unexpected consequences have made the jump from Analog Magazine into book form—and FoxAcre's got them! With a new foreword, preface, afterword, and who knows what all from the author. Includes new interior illustrations by Chris A. Schott. 198 pages. 6x9 trade pb. ISBN 0-9709711-7-6. $15.00.
All FoxAcre titles are, of course, available for sale direct from the FoxAcre website, www.foxacre.com , and also via mail-order. They are available for sale at speciality bookshops, and from Amazon.Com, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and many other online booksellers.Visit a particular title's info page at FoxAcre's website for links that will lead you to the order pages for our titles at the above online stores. Bookdealers and libraries can order all our titles at standard discounts direct from FoxAcre, and from Ingram or Baker and Taylor.
On account of being married to a U.S. diplomat, Roger MacBride Allen, publisher of FoxAcre Press, has once again been shipped overseas, this time to Leipzig, Germany for three years. As a consequence, FoxAcre Press is now shipping books from a new address—in New Jersey, not Germany! It's business as usual at our new address for shipping and business matters: FoxAcre Press, PMB 281, 1977 North Olden Avenue Ext. ,Trenton NJ, 08618-2193, Fax (609) 882-1043.
You can send us email at info@foxacre.com . And, of course, you can always visit us at www.foxacre.com.
We've expanded our line of titles on the subject of book-on-demand printing, and the books are selling! Visit our Book-on-Demand Bookshelf to see four books on making your own books. And, just by the way, if you order the Quick Guide to Book on Demand Printing Revised Edition and enter the coupon code QGTBODJUN30 at checkout, you'll get 20% off the cover price! Retail only. Offer expires June 30, 2003.
FoxAcre Press continues to expand its line of Author's Stock and Purchased Stock programs, through which we sell new copies of out-of-print books and hard-to-get books from other publishers. Many of these books are available only through our website. Visit our Author's Stock/Publisher's Stock Page for more information.
Instead, read the pamphlet Scam Agents (and How to Avoid Them) by A. C. Crispin & Brenda Clough. They've spent years learning how writers get scammed. Make use of what they know!
