The books have arrived. My garage is now filled with six pallets of books and slipcases. Four more pallets are sitting in the driveway ready to be hauled over to the storage unit. We’ll trade them for additional boxes of Tub of Happiness and Teraport Wars that we’ll need to stuff some of the slipcases.
I did some math. We’ll be shipping out
379 Tub of Happiness
573 Teraport Wars
369 Under New Management
345 Blackness Between
1333 Scrapyard of Insufferable Arrogance.
The total books to be shipped is currently 2999. There will also be assorted other merchandise in the packages. Last time we shipped out 1500 books in one day. This time we may need that second shipping day. Also I think the postman is going to have to make more trips. There will be over 1500 packages and most of the packages will be larger.
The signing and stamping of books begins tomorrow.
Thursday will be assembly of box sets and convention preparation
Friday I attend the kids’ dance festival then head to Conduit
Saturday is Conduit and the book release party
Sunday rest and church
Monday will be scheduled depending upon how all of the above goes. Hopefully I’ll be ready to start printing postage, but I may still be assembling and shrinkwrapping box sets. Also there will be many last-week-of-school activities for me to attend.
Ready. Set. Go!
