In Response To: Buying directly from David (Thi Tran)

Hello Thi!

: I know that in the back of every Kabuki book, it says to
: try and order books from retailers first. But I've
: tried that already. Almost three months later, and I'm

Thanks for trying. I say this because I want retailers to hear people asking for the books so thay they know there is a demand for the books so that they will order enough AHEAD OF TIME. If the retailer WILL NOT order or re-order the books for my readers I will certainly make sure that the readers CAN get the books from me.

Image and I make every effort to keep books in stock and easy to re-order so that stores can constantly have a healthy supply of Kabuki books. But for some reason I get a lot messages about people not being able to get my books in stores, or that the store is not willing to order it for them.

I am very happy to be there to insure that readers do get my books, and I actually do a BOOMING business in mail order.
But I wish the retailers would order enough ahead of time to put me out of business as a book seller. Readers need stores that they know will always have every Kabuki item in stock.

I think these stores would sell a lot more books and win a lot more solid readers if they had all the Kabuki collections on display and in good supply. THere are a LOT of great stores that do this with amazing success. And everytime I try to thank them for their support, they insist that it is just smart business for them and that is how they sell so many Kabuki books and maintain repeat customers.

: STILL WAITING for Kabuki: Metamorphosis. Since I've
: never ordered away for anything, there are some minor
: things I need to know
: 1. When it says 1-4 weeks delivery, does that mean I have
: to wait longer because I live in Australia.

Anh says not if you send a Money order. She says the package will definitely arrive to Australia within the standard time.

: 2. Should I buy Kabuki: Dreams well (I still don't have
: it), or should I wait for the second addition.

THat's a matter of personal preference.
I would suggest getting it so that you have it for the story. But if you prefer the Hardcover version with the other stuff, we plan to offer it late in the year. Should be out before Christmas.

: 3. Do I write the item name on the money order or the
: envelope?

Just write a list of what you want on the envelope or a seperate peice of paper, not on the money order.

: Any answer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for pursuing my work. I appreciate it. You're welcome to enclose a note or letter if you like.
