Amazon take over Book depository

Are amazon buying everything in the book world? (Strangely enough they havent made an offer for us - I don't think we are big enough to interest them). However it appears that Book Depository and their 6 million books are - and amazon are welcoming them into their fold. See - http://yhoo.it/ITvisX

JULY 1ST - OUR BIG SALE

TODAY OUR SALE BEGINS. We are having a big 'July summer Madness' 25% off all our stock sale starting today. Of course it is only available for stock bought on our own site at http://www.peakirkbooks.com because we can't afford to take 25% off stock on the other sites where we have to pay so much commission as well - we would then be trading at such a big loss. If you want to take advantage of buying our books at a 25% discount - between July 1st and July 31st 2011, simply go to our own site, and purchase, using the e code MAD007 in the coupon box at the checkout, and you will automatically get the discount. We specialise in children's collectable books, but there are lots of other books there too - 26,000 of them! It's worth a browse.

i MUST BE THE MOST USELESS BLOGGER THERE IS!

I wrote a lengthy account about going to the London Book Fair, meeting some customers I had never met in the flesh before - despite having had long e-mail relationships with, (you know who you are Eileen & Parizan) - and the rest of a long and tiring day - and managed to somehow lose the whole lot - except the title - see my last entry. I havent got the heart to write it all over again. Oh well - the life of a bookseller who is not technologically savvy, is an interesting, if exasperating one!
