Lovely

Here's a lovely photo of Sarah Bower and pals celebrating the publication of The Book Of Love. That's the shy author there, behind the hardback of her new historical novel.
Tell you what, selling hardbacks is good if you can do it. We sold over 200 copies of BOL's hardback on the week it was published, primarily to libraries - it's a £19.99 book at a 55% discount. Very nice.

Have you heard of PPC's: Printed Paper Case - sort of like a hybrid of hardback and paperback - the cover is printed directly onto the board, with no dustjacket.
From my perspective, the unit price is just marginally more than that of a paperback, yet being semi-hard (ahem) it carries a slightly higher price.

Yes, they're so pretty, aren't they? Our Signature Series is printed paper case as well as a jacket.
Who do you use to print them? The only examples I know are where the paper is printed then glued onto the case (the board).

Yippee! Does that mean my copy is in the post? I have the decks cleared ready to read it. I met Sarah at the HNS conference in York last month, and she is lovely. Best wishes for the new venture into hardback.
