I went to the library to donate The Black Scorpions. They couldn't take it because they don't have anyone on staff that knows how to do the proper cataloging. They have put in a request to buy the book instead from the local bookseller. It should take them a couple of months to get the book. That seems efficient and cost effective.

One of the many things YMAA has taught me is the value of the library market. That was totally counterintuitive. You’d think letting the library have your product would decrease sales but it’s quite the opposite. The main impetus for YMAA converting its backlist to hardcover is for the library market.

Very cool, indeed.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.

I was chatting with our (Monterey County Public Library) bookmobile librarian this morning who gave me the skinny on how to get the library to order a book. He also said one could donate a copy to him and he could put it thru the acquisition process. I'm going to try the order path first. Stay tuned...

There’s a library distribution network. YMAA capitalizes on that. Remind me when we get back and I’ll look into it (although I believe it’s a publisher thing, not something you can access as an individual author). As I mentioned before, it’s astonishingly lucrative. If we can get only a fraction of libraries across the US to purchase a book, even at wholesale, it’s quite a windfall.

Excellent. Thank you.
My librarian went the order path.

Papa's Book was reviewed in the Journal of America's Military Past.
Pull quote: "This book richly details life in a fighter squadron. Readers will learn new details and gain a better understanding of the daily experience outside of the intense combat environment. It is well worth reading this contribution to World War II oral history."
