Rather than scale the mountainous ironing pile, I decided to concentrate on activities I could do from the sofa: enquiring. I got an email this morning from the customer service department at WHSmith who gave me some different information from what the previous contact told me: apparently, each store manager has a local budget with which they can stock local books. However, this is at the discretion of the manager. All I can do is ask, so I’ve got a letter ready to send to WHSmith. To follow up from a previous post, I also have a letter of enquiry to send to Tesco’s book buying department, so I may finally discover what it takes to be included in their stores – I’ll keep you posted as to the outcome…of the enquiring, not the ironing (that’ll be there for months).
I had to check out eBay to find out a) if Karma sold and b) for how much. It did sell, and for the bargain price of 70p! Thank goodness it didn’t have a signature – it might’ve only sold for 30p, had it been defaced in this manner!!! I hope the seller actually enjoyed the book, as it certainly wasn’t a good investment…
I’m hoping to get a new digital camera soon, since the kind folks at Fuji are allowing me to trade-in my broken one, so the gallery might get an update once that arrives. I still haven’t used up the film on my disposable camera, so you’ll have to wait a little while longer to see my Borders photographs (that reminds me, I finally located Ron’s email address, so was able to thank him for letting me do the signing. Hope they sold the remaining books.)
