Update Announcements by Craig Stark 9 April 2012

Resuming BookThink's dust series today - Part IV: Damage Prevention. If you haven't already noticed, the purpose of this series isn't to present the entire dust jacket shooting match; rather my focus is on dust jacket know-how that will impact your bookselling. Today this should be especially evident because the topic is dust jacket damage and how to prevent it. Next time I'll get to dust jacket repair. If you have missed any of the previous three parts, they are all accessible by scrolling down on BookThink's home page.

Available now: BookThink's complete Gold Edition in PDF format. All 59 Gold Editions have been recently updated (and in some cases expanded) and combined into a PDF format e-book. A table of contents presents clickable report titles, and the entire document is searchable by keywords. The PDF format ensures 100% compatibility with all computers, tablets and smartphones, and it's easier than ever to take the Gold Edition with you on scouting trips. Purchase it here for $59.99. Click here to see several sample pages.

Important: If you have previously purchased a complete Gold Edition package, this e-book is available to you at no charge. Email me at editor@bookthink.com for your copy. Also, if you have purchased any Gold Edition issues either singly or in groups at any time, we will subtract those purchases from the price of the e-book. Again, email me at editor@bookthink.com and we will research your purchases and forward a discounted invoice reflecting them.

Chapter 10 of BookThink's Guide to Online Bookselling was delivered last week to subscribers. New subscribers will receive all chapters issued to date and all remaining chapters as they are issued. Subscribe here.
