I'm having a sale at Phoenicia, in honor of spring and National Poetry Month. A couple of days ago I made some new hand-printed bookplates, and will be giving one away to each of the first five people to place a direct order.
All the full-length books are on sale, including Annunciation and How Many Roads?
Bookplates and prints are also for sale in the new Store on the website. Hope you'll take a look.
You know, I feel so fortunate to be able to work with the authors and artists whose work we have published. I wish I could bring out more books each year but it's just too difficult - this is basically a one person operation, with some generous help in certain areas from my partner, and it's time-consuming and costly, while being extremely rewarding from all other points of view. I know a lot of you have supported this endeavor over the years and this is a chance to say, again, thank you - both from me and from the authors themselves.
I love what Dave Bonta wrote on Facebook when he shared the announcement: "These are all good. Some are down-right great. (I know because I have read all of them.)" That's about the most straight-forward recommendation I can imagine!
Lovely bookplates! I hope the press is having a good April sale...
And yes, I wish all the friends of Phoenicia would be so forthright. Great quote from Dave. If all the people who like your work would think to recommend books, review books on Amazon and such places, and use word of mouth, how much easier your getting the word out would be. Much luck to you with the sale and beyond. Your books are so carefully chosen and so beautifully designed.
