Sorry We Haven't Written...

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...

FoxAcre's Publisher Shipped Off To Germany

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 at www.foxacre.com/bookpage/bod-shelf.htm 
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!

Author's Stock & Purchased Stock

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.

Don't Get Scammed!

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!
