Thank you for your interest in buying direct. Doing so provides benefits to all parties. For example . . .
- Readers: your print books will be signed by the author
- Readers: several out-of-print titles can only be purchased from here
- Author: I keep more of the money you pay by eliminating distribution middlemen
- Publisher: For books that are licensed to the publishers, we buy the physical copies directly from them which provides the same income as titles purchased through the retail chains.
From time to time we help some of our author friends with fulfillment for Kickstarters, and now is one of those times. We have received (and shipped) most of a huge shipment of books (40 pallets) and my team (Sarah and James) who usually help me ship out Michael's books is 100% consumed with getting the remaining 500+ orders shipped for Will Wight's latest $1M Kickstarter. As such, the warehouse we usually ship from has been filled to the brim with Will's books so we have dismantled our store to make room for the Kickstarter books.
Now, that said, I know it's soon to be gift giving time, and many people will be disappointed that our store is closed. So we will be offering a select set of books at deeply discounted pricing (with free US shipping for orders over $50 and 50% savings for non-US orders of that magnitude). These books will be shipped from our secondary storage facility rahter than our standard warehouse and they won't be shipped daily like our regular store orders, but they will be shipped in time for the holiday gift-giving season. The books that will be available through our Winter Clearance Gift Giving sale will be:
Our full store will be back in operation in early January, but in the meantime, please take advantage of our deeply discounted pricing.
