I've been listing books every day...

...just like a good bookseller. But then I had a big dry period with no orders and it really depressed me. I have over 6,000 books online, don't tell me you can't be tempted by something I have listed!

But the dry period continued - until this morning. Then I got three orders through Google! That's cool!

I think what happened was that I had to do a purge and replace on my own website to make sure I had the right books listed - somehow the count got off.

I check each time I upload, but sometimes I get busy or don't get the email back or... And it was off. When I removed my books and replaced them, I think it took a bit of time for my books to get indexed again on Google. Sigh...

But they are up now and all systems are go.

I posted a Pelton Water Wheel catalog from 1905 and a Handbook of Practical Mechanics today, along with other interesting books.

Who knows what I'll find to list for tomorrow?

For the first time...

...I sold more books on my own website than I did on the other websites combined!

I was well pleased to see that 55.23% of my sales came from my own efforts at publicizing, listing, and changing stock to increase sales.

Alibris was next, Abebooks next, Amazon next, and Biblio next.

I need more dollar volume, but at least I'm getting visitors and sales. I've just got to keep listing those books!

Today I put up some young adult books and some science fiction/fantasy. I also got a haircut.

And I was lucky enough to get an autographed copy of a book I reviewed from the publisher/author as a gift - way cool!

I'll be picking another book to review soon. Don't forget to check out the one posted now.
