>> I am receiving notes that payments for 'The Global Meteorite Price

>>
>> re: 'The Art of Collecting Meteorites' - Don Merchant wonders how many
>> copies were ever available, and would like to know their history. With
>> pleasure I will describe this.
>>
>> In December, 2004 I purchased 1,000 paperback copies (I tend to call
>> them 'hard copies' as differentiated from eBooks) from self-publisher
>> Bookmasters in Ohio. Per contract I was liable for paying for 1,100
>> copies if their printing presses 'forgot' to stop at 1,000. Surprise!
>> I got to pay for the extra 100 copies which was another $1,500. OK. In
>> early 2011 I was running out of copies and realized that I was still
>> selling one copy/week. I didn't have time to do the eBok thing yet. I
>> didn't want to 'leave money on the table' nor did I want to disappoint
>> new collectors, so I ordered up another 100 copies at a much higher
>> per copy rate because of the small order and high shipping to Florida.
>> I had to raise the cover price $5 to cover the difference.
>>
>> I am now down to about one dozen copies, Gary and Blaine, as
>> mentioned, have a few more that they will likely offer at Tucson.
>>
>> As for 'signed and numbered copies', the first large batch - and the
>> first week I offered the book I sold 300 copies- were signed, maybe
>> signed and numbered. After that, I did it only when requested. Then
>> after that, I put 'signed and numbered copies' only on eBay because
>> they bring more $ sometimes. After that, I only offered signed copies
>> on eBay.
>>
>> Now I have a couple left that will be signed for eBay and only #500
>> left of the numbered books.
>>
>> Next year I will de-activate the book's website as it is not needed
>> for the eBook..
>>
>> How 'bout that, Don!
>>
>> Thanks to all for your support of this project.
