Fie on Howard and his psychological fu. He sent all the happy “My schlock book arrived” email my way. I simply cannot continue to feel discouraged over the mailing mistakes when the “hooray!” emails out number the mistakes by at least 10 to 1. I’ve gotten lots of commentary from overseas recipients saying that the pieces of cardboard DID protect the book as they were intended to do. Domestic recipients commented on the sturdy boxes. The boxes definitely are much more secure for domestic mailing than the padded envelopes we used last time. I do have one report of a box that was folded in half and shoved into a mailbox. The mailman in question must have used his knee or foot for that particular feat. I received kind words from someone who actually attended the release party thanking us for having a movie running for kids to watch. I’m glad that worked out so well, it was a last minute addition to the agenda. (For anyone throwing a party, if you have an animated movie running on a dry erase table with free food available, kids will be happy for a long time. They eat and draw on the table and watch the movie while the parents get to visit or game.) I even got an email from someone who hadn’t ordered a book at all, but just wanted to participate in the encouraging emails. That one made me laugh with delight.
Once again Schlock fans prove that they are kind and generous. We are so lucky to get to do this and to meet the fantastic people that Schlock has brought to us.
I hadn’t had a chance to send an email, but my book arrived safely as well. Having a big mailbox apparently helps. 🙂
You’re doing a great job.

I guess I will have to give in and say that the book that I didn’t order didn’t arrive. But the non-delivery was very rapid and the book that didn’t arrive was in perfect condition. Also the limited edition stamp that wasn’t in the book that I didn’t order was very nicely done, so you should congratulate your children for the help they provided.

Now that’s funny right there… I don’t who you are, that’s funny…

I neglected to email, but I got the book quickly (loved the box) and the book is of course delightful! I’ve used it to create another Schlock addict.
So. When’s the next book out? ::ducks and runs::
