Cohousing-L Mailing List: Book Deliveries: We the People

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

For those of you who  have ordered books from Amazon, I've given up  
trying to get books to Amazon. You will have to either order books  
from the press, GovernanceAlive, or the Sociocratisch Centrum until  
the distributor catches up with us.

The button to place orders is back up on the press site:

AND I'M SHIPPING DIRECTLY and using PRIORITY MAIL. The printer was  
not getting books to people fast enough -- I didn't realize they were  
still using donkeys in some parts of the US.

To work with Amazon before the book is listed in the distributor's  
catalogue, I would have had to have hundreds of book shipped to me  
and then apply labels of a certain size and shape a certain distance  
away from the top and side edges and then reship them to Amazon who  
would ship them to you. Since Amazon takes 55% of the selling price  
of the book, I would not only have been losing money but subsidizing  
their business. And we would be using a lot of green resources.

Ingram is the distributor for the press and eventually the book will  
be available in their catalog and Amazon can order from them. Until  
then please order from the press.

For those who have placed orders with Amazon, I apologize for the  
confusion and delay.
