Outnumbered by cats is a must for any cat lover. It’s out there, but it’s hiding in the shadows, much like a cat might... it’s listed in all the usual places, but with an added ‘unavailable’ on one of the biggest book sellers... and ‘can be ordered from our supplier’ on another. Well, I am the supplier and would love to send copies out, I’ll even sign them for you.
But this is just one of the hurdles that self publishers have to get over. The ISBN should be enough to make a book available through all the usual book outlets, so why do so many list self publish books as unavailable?
I have a short initial print run of just 100 books, and each book will be signed and numbered, you never know they might even become valuable one day. But the real reason for the short print run was that this book was a bit of self indulgence, and when I tried to edit down the photos, I found that I really didn’t want to, I wanted to produce a beautiful book with colour photos.
It’s a true story, where I’ve shared, at times more than I probably should have shared with the world. It’s quite normal to hiss back at your cat right? ...given the right situation...
So how do you get hold of a copy? Well, despite what the book sellers are saying, it can be ordered through any good bookshop. It has an ISBN and is very much available!
And… the countdown is on for my new online book shop!
