Practically Shameless made its debut in the Boulder Book Store's email newsletter today, in the "Local Authors Corner" section.

Unfortunately, with a typo in the text which was not of my making. I notified the newsletter editor to ask her to change it for the next issue.

I paid BBS to carry my book on consignment, which is apparently what one does when one is a small press. They have two consignment packages, costing $75 and $125 respectively, and I chose the more expensive of the two because it offers the book for sale at the BBS website for several weeks. Both packages include the book being in the Recommended section at the front of the store for a minimum of two weeks. The package I bought also includes featuring the book on the Local Favorites page of the BBS website for at least 6 weeks, and offering the book for sale online for the entire time the book is in stock at the store. I was able briefly to look at that site this morning before the site apparently went down for repairs. It described the book as available "by special order," which would suggest to a buyer, I think, that it would take some time to get, which is pretty unsatisfactory.

I stopped by the Store on Sunday on my way to Cliff and Vicki's house for Easter dinner and found 6 copies in the New Nonfiction section on the first floor, on the top shelf. The Store took 10 copies from me to sell on consignment, so perhaps this means 4 have sold already.

I checked upstairs in the section called Jungian Studies, and the book wasn't stocked there as well, so I'll be checking in with the consignment buyer, Liesl Freudenstein, about it. Neither was it in the general Psychology section.
