Frontlist (new titles, promo titles) goes out on the floor the same day it arrives while back stock gets unpacked and shelved the following morning. <br /><br />Even during Christmas, we're pretty good about sticking to that process. The only times we get really backed up are when inclement weather delays shipments and our receivers get slammed with three shipments worth of books in one day. <br /><br />But really, I didn't mean to post a comment nitpicking bookstore processes. What I really wanted to say was: <br /><br /><b>BUY NIKKI'S BOOKS!</b> They are, indeed, awsomesaucage. <br /><br />Also, looking forward to Vampire month.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-91567665636392283312010-05-31T21:46:44.502-04:002010-05-31T21:46:44.502-04:00In honour of vampire month, don't JUST by the ...In honour of vampire month, don't JUST by the Finding Lost books - buy Bite Me too.

Generally a book coming out in November was handed in last December or January. But in my case, I have to wait until the end of the season before I can write the episode guide, so it's July 5. It's then copy edited, then laid out by a typesetter, photos are put into place, and then it's proofread. All of that usually takes about 6 months, but in my case the publisher does it in one. So by mid-August it goes to the printer, then the printer usually takes 4-6 weeks for prepress, checking for corrections, and actual printing. It'll ship from the printer at the end of September, and go straight to the distributor of my publisher, and I will get my copies then. THEN the distributor ships the books out to each of the independent stores or the distribution centre of the bigger ones. (So, for example, they would send all of the B&N orders to one central distribution centre, and then that centre divvies them up and sends them off individually to the stores across the US.) Then they arrive at the stores, usually about 2-4 weeks after they've left the printer, and then they sit in a back room until someone actually opens the boxes and puts them on the shelves. For the most part, that's done immediately, and it's only if the book comes in too close to Christmas or something and they're overrun with books that it can take longer for the actual bookstore to put them out. That's why there's a rush to get them to the stores by October so it doesn't run into the Christmas rush. <br /><br />In the case of Amazon, the distributor sends the number of books Amazon has ordered to their DC, and they ship them out to customers immediately, which is why many Amazon customers have them really quickly. I have them usually about 10 days before Amazon gets them, so I take orders in the week leading up to me getting them in my hands and fulfill those orders right away. <br /><br />And that's the complete story of a book!!

There are a lot of cult people who were on it (early Ivan Sergei as a rock star) but the actors you're talking about are Brian Thompson (Luke and the Judge on Buffy) and Jeff Kober (Kralik from the ep where the Council tests Buffy and Rack.)<br /><br />Kindred was actually based off of a role-playing game and had some novels attached to it in the late 90s.<br /><br />I CAN'T WAIT FOR VAMPIRE MONTH!!!

I remembered thinking it was interesting, then it seemed everytime I tuned it, it was a re-run I had already seen. After watching the first disc of the first season, I understood I needed to buy the DVD's, and also understanding that I didn't understand stuff, I found Nikki's Finding LOST book. With her companion guide, I saw more than I had ever seen. I loved the lists and book synopsis'. THEN I found the blog, just in time for the re-watch.<br /><br />All this gushing to say, the books are very good, and a must have for any fan who plans to re-watch anything ever. I suspect many of us will be.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219841452322761803noreply@blogger.com
